Day 1. For Jason's benefit, here's the processing beyond the basic levels, hue/sat, etc.:
After the basic adjustments, I made a dupe layer, set it to overlay (maybe hard light, I forget), and added a teeny Gaussian blur. Originally, I was going to lower the opacity quite a bit, and just have a bit to smooth out my complexion (stress does evil things to me), but I decided to leave it in, and just for the heck of it, ran it through neat image, and the combination of those two gave it a very smooth, etheral type of feel to an otherwise uninteresting photo. I'll post the original for comparison.
