Excellent! I love your edit. Nice bit of sepia or added vintage and nice colors in the teen. Great job. :)
Wow I relly love your version! It looks really nice!
I love that effect. Adds a wonderful atmosphere!
Great idea on using the Define Eyes to brush over the subject. It really made him stand out more. Great job!
I can't love this picture anymore than I do now. It's awesome!
