Tired!!!
Hello everyone:
I decided to make and B&A as I think this is one of my best post production I have ever done (Critiques are welcome as always  ) Here is the before:  Here is the after:  The post production step by step: 1.- Change image mode to LAB 2.- De-select a,b channels 3.- Change to grayscale 4.-Change to RGB again 5.- Duplicate the layer 6.- Add gaussian blur, mask the layer and then reveal only the foreground. 7.- Levels adjustments 8.- Curves adjustments 9.- Color balance adjustment to get that kind of sepia / monochrome effect. 10.- New layer in which I added the vignetting Thats all! Your comments and critiques are welcome, also feel free to edit the image and paste what you would have done. Also if you need the PSD file to play with it or learn, ask for it, I will gladly send it! Thanks and hope you enjoy it as I did!

That is fantastic! The faces are so much more crisp in the after image. I need to look at how you did it and go try it myself.

Cool effect.
Makes me think those three "dudes" are real and everything else is make believe. They really pop off the page(I think the word pop is overused nowdays, but I couldn't help saying it). Great picture!!!

That's great. I agree they look like they are just ready to jump out of that photo.

Wow
This is a really nice effect, I wish I could do something like this with PSE5 but I'm still learning and I don't think it does this ';0)...
