Dark Hood

Hi everybody!
I have been gone from here way to long. Thought I would hop back on the wagon.
This is a shot of my son, we were just playing around with different poses and stuff. Thanks for looking and C&C is most welcome.

I like the original pose. It seems the detail on the hood is lost (underexposed), could be my laptop's LCD, it's not calibrated. Also I'd clone out the distracting shadow on the background.

Cheers,

Tom

Thank you BThunderW,
Yes, it is dark. I actually darkened it from the original file. Probably not the best idea since it took all the detail out of the hood.
The shadow I kinda like, but it does stand out to strong. Do you think softening the edge of the shadows might help?

I would try to dodge the shadow in PS or completely clone it out. Try both and see which one you like better.

Cheers,

Tom
