NEW Photoshop Challenge

[Bee_Jay]

OK chaps, the last photo I got through was crap, this one is a bit better.

Can anyone make this look a lot better, my attempts at quick individual levels tuning have not been that great?

This one ate the little yellow submarine that was posted last time ;)

I think I'll be good for once, rather than pasting in "Flat Eric" or something else . I'll let some sensible people have a go!

Nice starting image, btw (better than the other one) I really think we should all go back and take some more pics for you to start with....

......now, where's my black reef shark photo to bore everyone with again.....

Oh all right then...

This is what I'd do for starters, levels (on a new layer), duplicate layer with a high pass filter turned to hard light, then back off on the opacity...

But now, in doing so, there's a whole bunch of artefacts that spoil it and need work doing. So who'd do what to this?

I thought the background needed some help

or even....





I know... I should get out more

Yes, the JPEG compression makes it hard to work with...
