Hi :)
I really struggled with this one, and am still not happy with this version, but I feel as though (for the moment) I've hit a brick wall with it, so I'm going to post the best attempt I made...
It's funny, I decided to skip exercise 5 because this one looked really easy: work in Lab, bring in shadow and highlight thresholds, and steepen the a and b channels - 2 minutes max and it will look wonderful... Well that's what I thought beforehand. In practice, no such luck :-.
For the life of me I can't even remember the steps I took to get the image to this point. I'm normally good about keeping track of what corrections I make, but the more I got unstuck with this the less it all seems to make sense. I'm thinking that exercise 5 might actually be easier to tackle now ;)
Right, I'm going to give my brain a rest ;)
