	a l l u r e This was a nice picture in color - good lighting, before I started editing... But I sat down and just started playing without any certain end result in mind - and after a few different layers with different effects applied and such, I came up with this. I really liked the dramatic feel - rather than just gray, there's a lot of contrast with black and white. I really wasn't sure if I should put it in the Digital Darkroom or People, so we'll see how it goes. It was taken mid afternoon using natural light. Did my edits in PSCS2.
