Not sure what you did, but his skin tone is a chalky grey now...undo, undo.

I agree with Chris. Now his face looks posterized.
First version: Nice!

I believe it didnt need to adjust the curves globally as I did.

In an frenzied attempt to pump up the contrast of the bicycle I apparently ignored the fact that the riders face would be getting the same treatment when the adjustment was performed on the entire image.

..."Well, there oyu go and now you have a great image again!"...

My hope is to one day catch both the man with the  blue bik, and his wife with a matching Red Bike  riding together.

its almost startling to witness two such bikes in close proximity, and juxtaposing them is a challenge i want to tackle  soon.
