Hi Che,

As mentioned in my critique, the overall photo is too bright. I ahve tried to correct some of the brightness and some of the OE parts the following way:

- adjustment layer for levels. Set the white and black points for clarity
- adjustment layer for curves. Created more contrast especially on the dark curve. Also adjusted RGB
- adjustment layer for selective colors. Adjusted mainly yellow white and grey
- Copied the photo in a new layer and used the dodge (or was it burn...sorry Dutch version of Photoshop) to get less brightness in the BG. Set oppacity to 82%
- Framed and resized it.

I hope you like the result and see the difference.

Thanks,
Niek
