And here is my edited version:
Shadows really are a pain to get rid of. I actually have spent a lot of time this week trying to manipulate shadows so its funny that they would choose this photo. Using GIMP, here is what I did:
-Used the clone tool and healing tool to remove that bright light reflecting on his cheek
-Cropped
-Played witht the curves and levels to brighten
-Used the auto>white balance tool
-Added another layer and set the mode to screen, decreased the opacity to 80
-Adjusted the contrast
-Added two layers of textures and set them to overlay. (You can find them here.)
