Well, I'm not going to apologize for liking it. You may think I'm being a bit OTT, but I don't think I am. It reminds me of some of HCB's Mexico photos. Something about the look in their eyes...

I agree with Albano. I don't think it needs much (if any) work at all.

But then, I'm not much of a "work on it after the fact" guy myself. I photograph, get prints, and maybe, maybe crop a bit here and there (but not often). Most often, it's "either I like it or I don't".

You, OTOH, fiddle incessantly in an attempt, I'm guessing, to achieve perfection.

Whatever works, I guess.

I like this one just as it is.

cheers,
frank

Frank .... Sheesh!  When I do the book you're gonna write
the jacket blurb ;-))  Thanks for the kind words.  I can use
'em tonight as I struggle with getting the sepia tone right
on the final print.
