Here's the requested workflow for this shot.

First the story. So I got a call from my bro to go shooting around Estonia, so we did. Went to this nice coast, Kallaste. Then I noticed these two shabby fishermen, instantly recognizing a potential great shot. I'm always on trigger-happy mode, that is continuous drive - 3 fps, with my camera. So I started shooting away, I took like 30 shots of them, starting with them near the coast, ending with them having rowed away. It's always a good idea to shoot as much as possible when the opportunity arises - basic math, better chance of hitting that superb shot. I tried both landscape and portrait format, all focal lengths, positioned them in every corner of the frame and also varied the exposure bias. I ended up with this shot. As you can see, I don't have the perfect settings on my camera, resulting in a dull, low-contrast image, but that doesn't matter. Contrast and colour are manageable in Photoshop, composition and focus are much harder to change. I shoot in RAW, therefore I opened the image up in ACR (Adobe Camera Raw). I changed the exposure just a tad, added blacks and contrast, also spiced up the saturation. Then I cropped the rock out from the bottom-right corner. After that I move the image to Photoshop for some last touches. They usually include Highlights/Shadows, Contrast/Brightness, Levels, Saturation, Unsharp Mask (around 130|1.0|1.0) and Clone/Heal for smudges and dust speckles. After having done all that, here's what came out.

Anyway, this is how I work, hope you caught something out of this, please feel free to comment. I really don't know what talk about that would benefit you the most, so ask questions :)
