Here you go, hope you dont mind the repost and not sure if you will like the ligher version. I used curves and a quick mask and blended the layer in lumi mode.
I sort of like the darker one or something in between. Robert processes many of my images and the images that he works almost always look light to me. There is a lot of personal preference involved. I like the image, just wish that you had pointed the camera a bit more to the left so as to include the total splash.
Thanks for comments.
Robert: I don't mind the repost, in fact I appreciate the time you spent on the picture to show me how to enhance it.
I will also like something in the middle between the original and the repost.
Unfortunately I do not have access to curve adjustment since I use adobe elements 4.0 for images processing... so far I am spending my money on glass.
