Playing with Photoshop

I love photoshop, it can take an average picture and give it character and life. I don't as a matter of course use a lot of photoshoping in my work, but every now and again I find a picture I think can use the help (besides it's fun). This picture is one of my favorites, I just decided to see what it would look like in B&W. I absolutely love the burn tool, I burned out the back ground and blah blah blah... see for yourself.

Enjoy, and feel free to let me know what you think.

Best to all,
