Week 3 Example 1

I set the endpoints using Lab and add a "lizard tail" to the highlight. Then darken the image a bit to create a steep curve to add contrast to the mid tone. I then exit CM2 and duplicated a layer. On the new layer, I turn the a/b curve anti-clockwise to create an over saturated image. Then, I reduce the opacity to my taste.

If your original has highlight detail in the head of the first dog on the right...the front one..then you have hit this pretty well..

Good job.
