Reshoot of my silhoette entry...

Original -

Got the focus right this time. Also removed my watch, fixed the angle of the hat so you can see my face, wore suit pants to fix bum-line. Also shot in RAW to give better editing control, and I think the colours have come out better for it.

The original entry was under basic editing, so on this reshoot, I've allowed myself to do a little spot editing to remove a few spots and cracks on the wall, and do some selective USM.

Other than that, it's all the same. The final result is very much the same image to the casual observer, but I'm much happier with it.

It's also slightly more saturated than the original. I think this is OK. It depends on which monitor I show it on, but I think my less-saturated monitor is more accurate, so I've gone with that one.

PP was raw conversion with WB adjustment (kelvin 7200 + slight red tone) and curves, in PSP, Scratch removal for joins in wall, selective NR, crop+resize, USM (big and small), spot cloning, and border.

Wow! You're right that to the casual observer it would look the same, but this is now ready for print and sale. Top notch!
