photo manipulation

Like it or not, digital photography has give us a lot of new tools to manipulate photos.  Sometimes it's  not whether you can but whether you should tweak a photo... these two versions of the same photo show what is possible...

Ansel Adams said "the image is the score, the print is the performance" .... I might be paraphrasing here but you get the idea ... I like being able to give a photo a different look ...... or two or three different looks  ... It's fun to work on a photo and see what happens........
