Lesson 3 ex. 2

Interesting picture, I found hard to work

Not bad as far as the texture goes, but the color has disappeared.  If you were working in Lab, make sure the curves stay more or less straight - in some situations, such as adding multiple neutrals, the a and b curves sometimes take on an S shape, with the middle flattened out.  If that happens, right click on each of the curves and use the Reset command to start over.  Also, an extra bend near the white end of the Lightness curve will add even more detail to the bright parts of the image.
