Fix it Friday! Woohoo!

I really love the sunlight in this photo! So nice and warm feeling! Here is the original.....

Here is my take

First I cropped and rotated the picture.

Then I selected just him with the magnetic lasso

Next I used unsharp mask and adjusted the levels

Then I selected the inverse and applied a guassian blur to the background

Next I adjusted the brightness and the contrast of the whole photo

after that I increased the saturation everywhere but his face

and last but not least I picked the feature on PSE8 that adjusts the color to his skin tone.

that is pretty much what I did. Still extremely new to photoshop and have lots to learn! haha!
