I couldn't resist using the subject header ;) There are a few more touch ups, but this is it for tonight.

Beautiful cleanup Candy!
Perhaps the dark area on (our right) the side of his face are shadows?

Really nice Candy!

Hannie, after I posted last night I toggled between the two and I think you're absolutely right.

Thanks, y'all!!

I think I cleared up the shadows around the face. Let me know what you think.

Maybe if you used a shadow/highlights layer you wouldn't blow out the cheeks and chin?

Better, Kiska?

Chin still looks too white.

Candy, when you look at your first version you were very close but really only needed to add the smallest bits of shading.
In my example the top 2 are your version and the original and the smaller insert is the one with some added shading in his face.
Hope it helps you.

Kiska and Hannie's tips will put it over the top Candy. :up:

This was my final adjustment and he's been sent home. Thanks for all the suggestions!
