Thanks, Jeremy. I could but I don't think it needs it. If I lightened his face where do I stop, should I also lighten the hands?

As always, small jpeg files aren't the best way to judge and view images on screen. In a perfect world I'd perhaps create various versions of the file but life is too short. The file represented here is simply a resized version of the full size file, which is my go to methodology and the basis of all my judgments. I could of course upload a 100% crop of his face, but again, life is too short.

The point is many here won't be viewing on calibrated devices, many will be viewing on phones and tablets, Lord only knows what they will be seeing and frankly I don't think I should care.

Jeremy, you must have spent too much time in photo clubs' critique sessions ;)

Good shot, Keith!

Slobodan, you are undoubtedly right - and I'm now a judge, which will make me even worse.

Keith, it looks a lot better at 100%. I withdraw my suggestion!
