Right place at the right time

If you ask my grandson to pose for a picture, you get this awful fake smile, lol...caught him off guard at a recent LAX game....

Nice capture of the moment. On my monitor, his skin tones look a bit green. I tried an edit where I adjusted the white balance. His face also seemed a bit dark so I lightened his face a little and darkened the background a little to add some contrast.

I also cloned out the orange piece out of the frame as well.

Thanks for the edit...actually, he has quite a tan that shows up in my monitor, your edit looks red

I am looking on a lap top, uncalibrated...

I'm sure others will chime in on the skin tones. I attribute any reddness in his face to exertion.

I'd leave the orange water bottle cap in the picture; I think it contributes to the overall image...

I like the skin tone in the first picture. It makes him look like he just worked out. The orange thing had to go, though.

Orange thingy should go and I think I'd clone out the sweat drop departing his nose too. I agree that the original has a greenish cast to his face; but Gene's edit is perhaps a bit too bright there.

He had just gotten through working out, just came off the field and was taking a break...i thought the sweat drop at the end of the nose added to the picture..sort of told the story

I see lots of sweat to tell the story - the nose drop just aint pretty.
