Challenge: Color Studio Portrait III (Basic Editing)

Location: My garage, Jonesboro, AR

 Not Tim's Tooth Fairy, but I will admit it was an inspiration for this grumpy cupid. This was taken for an advertisement making fun of Valentine's Day for the 2009 ADDY'S call for entries poster. In the final version, there is a photoshop tattoo with the word "Addy" instead of "Mom" in a heart on his upper arm. This artwork sets the theme for our awards banquet in February. In Raw, for my submission, I just bumped up the saturation and clarity and slid the fill slider a little. I had to crop close as there was an imperfection on the top of cupids head that I could not clone out because of the basic editing.

This looks a bit dark on my screen, but with little more light and a little more contrast, this would be a top notch shot.
