An older piece

Looking back at my personal photo blog, I found another artwork that expressed interesting use of curved lines. Here's the photo in it's raw state.

The exif data for this shot is as follows:

• Nikon D3000
• 1/400 Seconds
• f/5.6
• 55mm (Using 18-55 VR 3.5-5.6/f, VR on)
• 400 ISO
• 0EV
  

The majority of this artwork was processed through lightroom, therefore providing a .PSD file would be useless so I'll just put down in the highest detail of what I did to this photo.
