Little things can have great effect

I took a picture of a stool on the balcony. As shot it's an oversaturated bit of stuff. A decent composition, but the image is nothing to write home about.

So I was working with my student, playing with the tools of the editor, and opened the file; because the snow would be a good thing to show how sharpening affects an image.

And I "oversharpened" it. A lot.

It was good. Not great, the colors were a little off, but the dull eveneness of the stool was gone.

So I slapped a monochrome filter onto it, et voila it was film noir-ish.
