That's a lot of tweaking but the end product was really striking and dramatic. Initially, I thought the original photo was great in itself and as I followed through the steps you took, I was surprised at how much adjustments were made. Makes me wonder about magazine pictures (and those with fantastic Instagram snaps).

Magazine photos are usually heavily retouched. Instagram photos tend to just have filters applied to them, although mobile phone photos tend to come out a lot sharper and more vivid from scratch due to the jpeg filters used.
