Hesitation - Morning Glory

Here's a high-key manip of a photo I took of ^hesitation a couple of months ago. The photo started out with very soft lighting and accurate exposure to give me very wide tonal range. But when I looked at it, I had this idea for emulating a high-contrast print to give it more "energy." Having the proper exposure to start gave me the flexibility to control this effect. If I had started with an overexposure to try to get the high-key effect, I would have no latitude for change. I applied levels and curves layers to boost the contrast. I had also added a channel mixer layer to do a high contrast desaturation, but I took it off at the last minute. Anyway, this is what I ended up with. Hope you like it.
