Hi Bambi,

I'm glad you grabbed this one - I was supposed to be working on it but health issues have gotten in the way  Angry .  Since I've got the file, I get to peek at the blue channel!  It looks like his fingers bend over the can, he also has a pen in his shirt pocket. His face is better than I could do!  Smiley  This detail photo is enlarged from the blue channel:



It sure is looking good! You have these yellow stained jobbers MASTERED  Thumbs up

So right. The best advice comes from the guy who's been there. Hope you're feeling better.

Now that I see it in this format, I think the man on the left is too bright and his hair is too dark. There's a highlight on the top of his hair in the original and, from earlier pictures I've seen, I think it's lighter.

That's why I post on Forum. Thanks, PB!

Fixed the hand on the man on the left. Lightened his hair and adjusted the color a little. Brightened the flowers. Gave the man at left more shape. And fixed various little flaws.

Now it's looking good Bambi!   Thumbs up  I guess what I'm seeing on his shirt isn't a pen - it's in the wrong place to be a pen.
