The moment I saw this photo, I knew it would make a good reference for smudge edit. I didn't plan anything for it because I wanted to make a quick simple edit for a change.

When I was almost done with the base, I lost motivation to continue the edit because it didn't look as good as I thought it would but later, I decided to continue thinking I would just leave it as a draft if I finished and ended up not liking it.

...but when I finished it looked fairly good and I knew with just the right Shadow tone, Highlights tone, Sharpness, and brightness, it would look nice.  I dropped the edit into light room, used everything I could find, and Voilà!
