This is one of the first few images I took of Marc on our photo shoot. He was just sitting on the side of the suspension bridge, looking rather bored. I started off with a few straight-ahead candids of him sitting off to the side and then got closer (my mantra: Get Closer).

He looked a little befuddled when I got down and started shooting from ground level, but soon warmed up to the idea.

Post-processing (all in Lightroom 2):
* I applied a graduated filter effect to recover some of the sky
* I adjusted exposure on his head/torso and jeans separately to blend in well with the background.
* I increased saturation, vibrancy, and contrast
* I added a vignette, sharpened and output for TL

Edit:

Missed the adjustment on his face. Posted as workshop.
