 Candid, opportunistic shot of my beautiful girlfriend juniorbear sitting on a bench, as viewed from behind.

Applied one step photo fix in PSP.
Created a curves adjustment layer to darken midtones, painted a gradent on to my adjustment layer so it would apply more at the top than the bottom, the idea being to slightly darken the clouds.

Cloned out a few ducks that I felt distracted from the shot.

POST: Grrr, it nearly PB-ed but not quite. I was aware of a slight cast but no-one picked up on it. Here's a better version.

Nice. Looks like a peacefull scene. I think that the placement of the bench looks a little funny though. It's not quite centered and kinda low in the frame...
