The original taken jpeg 12:30am brrrrr.
Followed the Guy Gowan workflows, action sets etc //www.guygowan.com A lot of dodge & burn, photo filter boosting cyan to counter the yellow cast. Alien Skin exposure 3 -> color film/polaroid/669-shadows cyan filter to give a bit more cyan, channel mixer to darken the blacks, 3 x (unsharpen mask + Alien skin focus glamor shot strong) gives the really soft focus. Convoluted but I have a process that I follow. To me it's still blotchy and the gum needs relocation, but it got near the feel I wanted, benevolent mystery with a confident loneliness. Hope that helps, I looked at the CS5 log file and nearly fainted, so I spare you of that.

I absolutely adore this image. Didn't vote on FS, but clicked through a few of the (very same-ish)images, when I came across this. Brilliant post processing, brilliant eye. Completely mesmerizing.
