Before:

After:

First, I took the original into Adobe Camera Raw and adjusted for exposure, recovery, fill and fixed some noise issues. Then I imported it into CS3 and used MCP Action A Bit Light and Darkness to bring out his face and hands a bit and darken the background. I then used the patch tool to fix the bright spot on his right cheek. Then I used MCP Action Color Burst to pop the color and erased back any skin. I then used MCP Eye Doctor to bring out his eyes just a touch. Cropped for rule of thirds and sharpened. Tada!

Now, go check out how others fixed it up!

ETA: Just read Jodi’s fix from MCP Actions Blog! Now it looks like I pretty much copied her fix! Yikes! Sorry, Jodi, I really did this before I saw yours! Yours looks better, too.
