Dirty!

you have gotta love digital photography. the things you can do now to improve an image is amazing. It opens up a whole creative avenue that wasnt there before. when i shot this image, I knew what i wanted to do with it, that's a lovely power to have. that's 2 level of creativity. i wanted a dark, gritty, dirty image. couldn't be further from the original - the subject was one happy dude!
