I also used dodge and burn on grey layer, Orton effect, Skin Smoothing and a few other things I don't know what to call. Hope this helped a bit now I need a nap. Cheers Pete Matthew 11:28-30

But just my opinion. Canon EOS 40D,30D, Canon 70-200 2.8L, 24-70 2.8L, 85 1.8, Canon extension tube, Elinchrom Lighting gear,
