I wouldn't change it. On my monitor, it looks very nice. It's a bit red, but I like it that way. Seeing the original image, I really love your final version all the better. This really demonstrates how someone who knows what they're doing can take what would be an otherwise ordinary snapshot and turn it into a work of art. Very cool.
Shu, let's see if we can get a consensus on the redness. I did want it somewhat bronzy. My monitor is calibrated but maybe I took it too far.
Grant, I supersharpened and played with the tones and contrast, and of course there was lots of burning, and yanking down on the curve.
I normally don't like to show my unfinished images, but this is much like the difference between your car in the garage shot in terms of the difference between raw and finished! LOL! So, for you, here is the RAW image:

Lonnit,
I like the lighting in this. Also, it looks like you've done something interesting in your PP. What did you do?
This is very nice, Lonnit, but his face is a bit red on my monitor. I wish I could tell you how to change the tone?? If it can be adjusted, then it will be perfect IMO.Shu
