I really love this shot of TJ (was very cold on the weekend) but I'm kicking myself that the focus isn't spot on. Anyway, what do you guys think?
Edited to add: WOAH! it looks even worse here

Hope you don't mind, played with it a little.
Tweaked color balance, adjusted curves slightly and then smart sharpened.
Don't know if it is any better than the original but the original looks a little too cool and blue for me.

Thanks Craig. I do like your version alot!
Maybe I should have posted this in the fix-me up section (feel free to move it mods)
Here is the original
I'd love to see some creative processing too, if anyone is feeling inspired.
Thanks

Hi Schell, I can see where you were going with PP I think :/.........but I like the colour of the original better. The red on Tj's right cheek is a lighting issue. Trying to take it out leaves the rest of him too pale. Maybe try b&w

Hi Schell,
I think the picture in color is great!! Here is my try to remove the color in the cheek...
In an extra layer, with the brush tool and white color paint the area you want to get paler.... apply blur gaussian 30%,+ -.... with the lasso or the eraser clean the area out of the cheek and blend your layer to soft light, if you think it is not too much and you want it paler... duplicate the layer and play with oppacity...
Hope this helps...

That looks great! You've gotten rid of the hard line of shadow too.
Thanks Irma!

Hey it's really beautiful! I like how you've brought out the sharpness and definition. Colours are richer too... and the eyes are absolutely gorgeous...

Yeah, really like your last one. Looks like it's from the 70s to me... the colours and the clothes, especially the cap.
I gave your photo five minutes on Photoshop as well, here is my result:
Kind of like kindergarten Che... :/ hehe...
