I haven’t done one of these in a long time.

Original:

I’m loving black and white conversions right now so I thought this would work perfectly.

In CS4 I switched to black and white mode, moved the sliders around until I got a good balance.

A new curves layer, using the hand tool, increased the contrast to taste.

Removed noise twice.

Resized and sharpened for web.
