Just going through my photos from Nepal and found this portrait I had forgotten about but really liked:

Thanks for the comments guys :) to be honest I hadn't realised quite how high the saturation was i was too busy working on the contrast! I've toned them down a bit so here's another version:

Let me know which you think is better.

z0mbi3: We went to Pokhera at first and treked to Annapurna Base camp, then spent a few days in Khatmandu before heading back to India. This photo was taken in a village above Pokhera.

As for proccessing, mostly dodge and burn with a hard light layer applied over the top :)
 
Thanks Andrew, here's a couple more versions then:

Thanks for all of the advice guys, It's definantly a work in progress so any more comments would be highly apreiciated :) Personally i think the third version is my favorite so far:)
 
hehe, Sharpness is a dificult one. I'm using a CRT at fairly high resolution 1600x1200 @100hz on a 20" viewable area. Another user may be using a 19" TFT at 1280x1024. LCD's are inherently sharper and in this case would have bigger pixels. So for something which has the correct amount of sharpening applied when viewed on my screen it is likely to be too much on another!

I'll see what I can do with the black Pearl ;)
