Thanks. Would love to see your version. I posted a new onewith
corrections to the arm and the boy's face.

Hi Paul,
I pulled down the bright green by making a selection around the area
and
using Replace Color. It really seemed to help the balance of the pic
quite
a bit. I've completely changed my mind about this being a color pic.
I
brought the lightness and saturation down to -25 and moved the Hue up
to
about +5. I really enjoyed fiddling with this one - it's really a nice
capture.

Hi Shel,
Thanks for commenting. To me, this screams out for color (to
paraphrase
Frank:-). From the hair color to the rose to the handbag, the color is
what makes this interesting from my point of view. I'm not sure why
her
arm is a lighter, cooler color below the elbow. In the full-frame
version, all of her arm is revealed but it juts quite a ways out to
the
side and seemed to throw the frame off balance. It almost looked as
though she had been in the sun with long gloves on. I could have
warmed
the whole image a bit more, but I looked at it and found they were
getting a bit too rosy looking. The light was warm to begin.
