Before and Afters...

I have been trying to improve my "editing" skills and have been reading up on some Photoshop tutorials. Here is my first attempt at it. I choose this image from my session with David.

Original - straight out of camera (I don't know what it is with Canon but images always have a slightly redder tone)





My original edit - normal processing, better than the first but still lacks a little "pop" (adjusted color, saturation, contrast and added slight vignette)

Final Edit - levels adjustment, vignette, soft light adjustment, color and other stuff. This image definetly stands out more, but the eyes are a little darker than I would like. Very "Urban" feel.

Which one do you prefer??
