 grimm making the most of the subzero weather.

this is the first effort at some more advanced color management. RAW in adobe RGB - converted to 16bit tiff - to 8bit psd - proofed for sRGB. the original is way over saturated. i think i see - we'll see next time...

i used a polarizer - natural light

slightly cropped
adjustment layers for:
levels
curves ( opacity at 50% or so )
hue/saturation

He looks more sad than grumpy. I think the DOF should be a little deeper to bring out more of the interesting shapes in the background.
