So, I will put it forth. [ATTACH]892[/ATTACH] I cropped a little and straightened a little; cloned out the person and vehicle in the background; added a slight gradient fliter to the background, then blurred along a horizon line; I burned a little across the foreground shadows; and finally I picked up a little skin-tone from the boy's face and brushed it at 10% across the burned highlight in his cheek and forhead. Obviously, this is a personal photo and very much a momento of an instance, I hope you don't mind me treating it as if it was a moment of mine.</blockquote>
