Photoshop, First Attempt

I decided to learn something or two about photoshop. Even though I was originally a naturalist, after doing much reading about photography, and looking at some great photos, I realize that there are just a thing or two that you can't achieve without digital post-processing even with the most powerful photographic equipment to date. And here is a statement from a master whom I've been learning from all this time.

"Digital photography is one part photography, and one part post-processing software.
Since post-processing has such a big impact on composition, why ignore it?"
-Harold Davis-

I think that is all needed to be said. So after spending 12 hours of clinic work with just 4 patients, this is what I come up with.



Of course this are just some experiment about the usefulness of "layer" in Adobe Photoshop. What I'm planing to do with post-processing is something different than these result. but enough for today. I'll experiments some more later on. :)
