Overprocessed IMHO. Face is to dark.

Oh, this could have been a wonderful photo...and actually it is but it does need a little something... or rather, something taken away.

There is just too much darkness and contrast in the picture. There is great evidence of the determination, thought and hope that is going through this athlete's mind at this moment... but because his face is so dark... you can barely see it.

I know that this is a "basic editing" challenge, but we are still allowed to work with the contrast somewhat.

A beautiful shot, my friend. Please... take this picture and lighten it up and then put it in your portfolio. I would very much like to see it.

How very sad, this tree. Your treatment of it really emphasizes that.
