Waiting for a little more...

I was at the Ren Fest in South Texas last year and this man just grabbed my attention. Sitting alone in a little cove. After I got this shot he looked up and smiled. I went over and talked to him for awhile. I was sad I didn't have more time to sit with him. He had some great stories. I just got around to processing those photos and thought I would share this one.

when you say you processed these photos..well the obvious jumps out at me..it's just too dark. You can barely see his face for example. If you raise the exposure on the whole picture though you will probably blow out the highlights on the sunlit walls. My suggestion would be to brush in some exposure on the gentlemen.

Yea I have not got myself trained up on Elements enough to do the little detail stuff yet. (and make it look good)
You are correct that I dropped the exposure because of the sun. I will work on it

Thanks for the tip!

Does he look a little better now?
Still playing with all the options
