Sometimes, when I take a photo and am going over it in photoshop, I decide that I would like to highlight a certain area. In this picture above, I wanted to emphasize the center. I did this by making all the surrounding sections darker. I used a plug-in called Color Efex Pro and a filter called lighten/darker. This could also be done by created a duplicate layer on top. Darken it. Then soft erase out the center. It's pretty simple stuff but can really add the dramatic feel to the image.
