With the kind collaboration of PhilUk and Madmaven (Phil and Terri !) I came up with my rendition of the original capture taken by Terri. In this variation, rather than going for an aged look I have tried to enhance the existing mood of the capture by emphasizing the black level and by introducing some diffuse glow and grain on strategic portions of the image, then applying an overall gaussian blur of 0.3% @ full image resolution to iron out any harsh looking pixels in the processed areas.The processing I used on this one was quite agressive but I feel it needed to be, to achieve what I wanted. The only processing that the gentleman on his 'bed' has undergone was black level adjustment and some subtle blurring towards the feathered selection area. I hope you enjoy!
