Vigilante de la fuente de El Rabia. Recuerdo perfectamente como nos miraba este señor, pese a lo acostumbrado que debía estar de ver viajeros/turistas por su zona tenía un brillo de curiosidad especial en sus ojos.

So basically I cropped to get rid of overexposed areas. I sharpened using USM several times on different areas, to put the focus on the eyes and hands. I played a bit with the color balance (there too much reds in the midlights). Finally I shadowed a bit the corners to keep the focus on the center. Maybe this image has too much of a feel of a post-processed image (i've been heavy-handed on the sharpening), but that's a matter of taste.
