I agree, no real need to edit...except if I were you I would give subtle USM a try to get a little more detail in the texture.

You captured it very well! I would definitely sell this as a high-quality print if I were you.

Good eye!

This is such a cool shot... very gritty, emotive, and raw. I love it! :o)

I agree there needs to be no editing, this is a great photo as is. I cant imaging getting a shot like this with nerves going 800mph.

Breat shot

I don't think you need a cool way to edit them. These are great just like they are. Go enter them in something fast!

Elegant portrait. You really captured all the nuances of tone and texture. That is a very nice backdrop as well. I would have liked to see the left ear tucked up inside the hat rather then bent over. A 9.

Very nice picture, certainly nothing wrong with it from that aspect. The exposure is good, whites are white. I'm not an expert on portraits but the lighting appears well done for the subject matter.

Unfortunately, the hat appears gold instead of yellow to me and I feel I have to dock some points for that for this particular challenge. Sorry.
