The image above is included in my portfolio. The original shot made good use of the frame but due to the weather and simply forgetting to use fill in flash (commented on previously) I had to increase the exposure slightly.
Another handy tool I put to use in photoshop was the selection tool. Using this allows you to make adjustments to one specific area. In the image shown above I wanted to create a little more definition between the background and the snowboard.
To finalize the image above all i did was crop to the desired size and give the base of the snowboard a little more vibrance. Again the selection tool was used to highlight the area of the snowboard and the vibrance tool shown on the image above.
I discovered there are a number of ways to achieve the same outcome. In the image above I have used a number of layers. The layer on top was desaturated whilst the layer underneath was in full colour. What you can above on the base of the snowboard is the top layer being erased allowing the colour to come through form the layer below. In hindsight it is easier to select the area to modify.
