Melethia mentions that this is unfortunately soft - I quite agree. I had tried some much stronger editing but didn't like what it did to his skin. I have tried again with an in between treatment, erasing from the forehead and some other areas. The mouth is still softer than it should be, but I think it's much better. Too bad I didn't have Deb's eyes before I submitted :)

Very warm and wonderful smile - he looks like a great guy to know! I like the diagonal fill-the-frame approach alot - missed the focus every so slightly, but the friendliness shines through just the same.
