"Dynamic" Quad shot

Here's a pic i took of one of my friends last year, just got around to touching up this shot last week(it wasn't really a keeper, but i didn't wanna delete it) and now it's won a Daily Deviation at Deviantart.com
lemme know what you think, btw, i shot the pic with my... Nikon!

awesome!

Very nice!
Sometimes I use Nikkors on my 20D. They haven't kicked me out yet!

Wow, that's awesome! How do you get that effect?

colors are great, you think you would see this as an advertisement or something.

for PP, i started with a plugin called LucisArt for PS CS3, to bring out some of the detail in the shot, after that, i can't remember exactly what i did, i know it involved lots of adjustment layers(with different blending modes) though, to heavily boost the contrast and the satuation a bit as well, and the shadow/highlight tool was used as well. I wish i could tell you what exactly i did, but i can't even remember myself! every pic is usually something different with me.

lol, that's good to hear!

Very nice!

Very cool effect and great looking picture. I'd like to see why you didn't think the original was a keeper. Care to share it with us?

thanks, uh, sure, here's what it originally looked like straight out of the camera.

wow, you did amazing things to that photo that was nearly lost.

great!

I have to agree with killerbab, great PP on a nearly lost shot.

thanks guys
i've been reading a bunch of tutorials lately and just playing around in photoshop quite a bit, so i decided to take another crack at this shot. My first try just after the shot was taken wasn't all that successful. practice pays off i guess

I guess one shouldn't be so quick to dismiss the not-so-good images....
You saw the hidden potential and performed some amazing PP work.

...I'm still shocked...

Fantasic editing work. I really like it.
