revisiting and re-processing some photos

I spent some time recently going back over some of my favorite photos trying to pick out ones that didn't quite make the cut and see if I could salvage them. I think these turned out pretty well - the use of B&W helps a lot. All of these are from the same weekend (last Thanksgiving). 

Tag! Finger Pickin'

I especially like how this one turned out:

Compressing the levels significantly and filtering out some of the background noise helped turn a pretty good picture into an great one. The sensor noise (which gets emphasized during the processing) seems to work really well for the picture, too.

The previous one was originally posted without much processing.  I definitely like the end result of the more processed photo.
