A couple of guys messing around on a Wednesday night gave me this idea for this challenge. Adjusted the curves, hues on the yellow chanel to fix the skin tone, then ran it through NeatImage to smoothout the skin and reduce some noise.
The only thing I couldn't seem to fix is the showing of the histogram lines. They really bother me...too bad I can't fix them with PS.

I find this image very funny and appealing. It seems posed but that adds to the humor. It has been neat-imaged a little too much in my opinion. I'd crop it a little lower on the top to get rid of the piece of hair sticking down. Effective for the challenge if not the most original idea... 6
Who nose how good this will do. Certainly displays conflict. Would have been better to have the head perfectly in focus with the hand slightly blurred (showing the motion). Good job, good luck.
HAHA good shot. 8. The expression on the guy's face is priceless. The photo fits the challenge and the creativity factor is there. I'd have used a a black background though.
