1> crop to make it tighter
2> switch color to more golden side
3> enhance golden cast
4> apply guassin blur to the water and background
5> apply diffused glow to entire photo, but brush off area that appeared too bright.
6> sharpen the lady
7> add a simple border

How did I do?

just saw this great photo. felt it deserves a try. I cropped out the top and bottom to emphasize on the main part. then, I cloned out two heads to the right side. use curve to enhance the contrast. then add a simple border.

I hope you don't mind my touch on it. and I hope you like it also.

I found the noise was... well, I hate noise. I denoise it. Paul, neatimage is freely avaliable and very useful. I highly recommend you to try it out. I, then, went ahead did a crop. I found the black front ground did not contribute much to this great photo. I decided to crop it out. this photo wins by its color (mainly). so I enhanced it to make it more pleasing.

I hope you like it.

Another great work, Paul! You are such a productive photographer. I am so lazy in comparison... I... I better get out and shoot.

Take care!
