 Much easier edit. Created a duplicate layer, applied the Virtual Photographer Hard Steel filter to the dup layer, went back to the base layer and desaturated it, the reduced the opacity of the duplicate layer to about 70%. Dodged and burned a little for no apparent reason whatsoever. :-) Cropped.

Just came across this, I REALLY like it! Had a look at the others too, this is easily the best edit. Thanks for sharing the steps!

Since I go for emotion or artistic flare in shots, I'd pick this one. But they are all nice!

I have to say that I like this version better, I am a sucker for these tones and the editing adds a mythical quality to the image

I'll be different. I'm not so sure I like the filter used here. In comparison to the B&W one, the cast seems to take something away from this.

I like this one best Deb. I like the way the shadows in the water stand out more. I would be tempted to make the farther ones a little bit darker. The more I look, the more I like it!

I'm normally a sucker for B&W, but the toning in this one is fantastic. You asked about halos and shadow/highlight. I remember reading somewhere that if you crank the radius it will reduce it so that's what I normally do, although I never paid that much attention to it.

I think this is my favorite edit. I love the tones and the textures. It was a great image to begin with but the mood in this edit really makes it for me.

This is ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!

I ADORE this image - so perfectly processed.

No contest. This is the best one by a landslide. The edit here is supportive of the scene, it respects the mystery, the intrigue where as the other edits... is rape too harsh a word? Seriously, the other edits rob all the appeal I see here.

This is my favourite of the three edits, although, I would prefer if the boy was a little brighter. Have you tried doing a brightness layer, and masking out everything but the boy.

Even without the extra brightness, I really like the emotion in this shot. It really does a good job a kid being a kid.

Here he does stand out nicely against the background. I like the tones and the textures in the water.

I prefer this version. My attention focuses on the activity of the boy and the textures instead of the colors.

The b&w version is more ethereal and emotive. I think I prefer the b&w, but it's a tough tossup.
