Photoshop "before and after"

A few weeks ago I killed my PC so of course I needed a new computer and why not go big? I chose a MAC but because I had Photoshop on my PC it wouldn't transfer to a MAC, I needed to get a whole new version (darn ;). So I got CS5 for my Mac and have been playing around with my photographs.

Some of my friends have been asking, "what kind of camera do you use? how do you get such good shots?" Well, the answer isn't really in my camera (which is a Canon Rebel) but it's in the tweaking I do in Photoshop.

See for yourself....
