Plugins

I've become more interested in Lightroom and Photoshop plugins as I'm exploring ways to bring out of a photo what I felt was there.  Tonight I worked with Topaz B&W plugin - below are both the before and after.
I watch what my wife and her friends buy in cards and think - I can do that (and have fun at it).  That's part of my impetus to experiment. Plus, I love the mysterious part of it - in many photos it is easy to see what the subject is and I want to be able to introduce some mystery in some of my photos.
