Ok, well first off, I took this photo, and I tried to make it look professional and stuff. I think the full size looks a whole lot better than the thumb, but I feel it's not really finished, so I'm looking for some critique and ideas. I think it turned out pretty good, but it just seems to be needing something, not sure if it's text or whatever. Thanks in advance- luke

Well, the after picture would have looked good if you had a whole body picture instead of your head just staring at us. [ Sorry, I don't know why, but it's freaking me out.. I'm not a big fan of "closeup pictures"! ]

However, I do like the coloring of the after image. You gave the viewers a nice edit of a warm coloring.


If I were you, I would have messed with the before image and brighten things up. Increasing the contrast, brightness, and using selective coloring to further enhance the coloring saturation would have made the picture seem "alright" in my opinion.
