    Something like this. Noticed it was shot at ISO 800 so when looking at the file closely you can see a bit of noise but its not overly noticeable and could probably print very well to 8x10.
    "A photo is like a hamburger. You can get one from McDonalds for $1, one from Chili's for $5, or one from Ruth's Chris for $15. You usually get what you pay for, but don't expect a Ruth's Chris burger at a McDonalds price, if you want that, go cook it yourself." - me

    I'm not all that good with PP, but I'm playing around with NX to see if it's worth buying, and I thought I would give it a go.

    Here is original

    and here is what I did in NX. Actually I cheated a little, I ran it through Neat Image first to get rid of some of the noise.

    Don't know if it is much better, but I thought it was somewhat better. I didn't like the ornage glow on his jacket, and that was one of the things I tried to correct. I also tried to lighten her face and get rid of some of the contrast as well as some of the sheen. I wanted a softer look. Just remember, my opinion is worth every penny you are paying for it.
