I really like this picture

But I have no idea what photo techniques/editing techniques were used to get this look. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Looks like it has a bit of a overlay effect done in Adobe Photoshop. But, you can barely notice an Overlay effect at all. But what you could do to apply an overlay effect is make the background into a layer itself, by making it the default "Layer 0". You can acheieve this by double clicking on the lock icon for the background layer. Or by double clicking on the layer itself. And a New Layer prompt should pop up. Then duplicate the layer, by Right Clicking>>Duplicate Layer... and then go to the Layer Blending Options right in the open Layer Window. Pick Overlay, and lower the opacity really low. Maybe as low as even, 10%. And try changing the levels of the pic by doing the following:

• Go to Image>>Adjustments>>Levels...
  
• Adjust the level properties and see if you see a litle difference. I am not sure if this will get you the desired effect, but, it may. Not sure. But I hope it does for ya. .
  
• This is optional, but you could merge the layers together so they all are one layer for the picture, by selecting all of the layers at once, by holding shift, and selecting each layer by clicking on each layer, the duplicated layer and the default bottom layer, which should be "Layer 0". And pressing Ctrl+E on your keyboard. And this will merge the layers together. Creating one, simple layer which is your photograph.

Good luck! The effect is really neat and unique, don't get me wrong . I hope I have helped you somewhat.
