 Finally got Photoshop and decided this would be my inaugural entry using it. Took 10x longer to process/edit than it would normally take in LR3 since I had to learn everything from scratch. Quite happy with the end result though!

Lighting:

- single strobe from the left. No umbrella, just good ol' hard light.

Processing:

- Import into LR3
- Adjust Exposure/Brightness
- Export to CS6
- Layer 1. Original edited in CEP4
- Glamor Glow
- Pro Contrast
- Detail Enhancer
- Later 2. CEP4-edited image edited further in SEP2
- Full-spectrum preset
- Global adjustments to Contrast/Brightness/Structure
- Local adjustments to Contrast/Brightness/Structure
- Overlay of Layer 1 and Layer 2 (Luminosity blend mode)
- Send back to LR3
- Cloning
- Dodge and Burning
- Convert to B&W with Blue toning
- Adjustments to Exposure/Contrast/Recovery
- Vignette
- Sharpening
- Save for web

Post-rollover.
Sigh, hit 6.6 after 2 days but then a steady decline to 6.2. Pity, I was quite proud of this! Thanks to my TPL-2 teammates pamb, damon and stagolee for editing suggestions!

Easily the best in this challenge so far as this type of shot goes. Would've much rather preferred dof be carried through the subject or at least to have been critically sharp on the subject's face instead of his left wrist.
