Soldier

This smiling soldier has been fun. Well, until I got to that lower right corner. :crazy: Did a Curves Adj for color and then added a Hue/Sat and reduced the Blue damage spotting. Added a blank layer and sampled the face color in a good area and setting the Brush to Color and varying opacity, painted back in the area on the forehead and nose that seemed to have lost its color. Copied jacket to another layer and ran Noise Reduction to cut back some of the color noise. Any suggestions on the best way to reduce that shiny damage on the lower right? See any other areas needing attention? Thanks for the extra eyes gang!
