Hi Frank you overdid it for me. The face of the jumper is too dark now and I don't mind the background and the people there being a bit on the light and overexposed side because it draws the attention more on the main subject. Your second version is not an improvement for me therefore, maybe we need a version 1.2 ;-) greetings Markus
