[Jeff]

too small

too small

great advice guys :P quality comments

i wouldn't worry about the size. i think it's too yellow mostly. add some color balance/gradient map layers and get some more hues in there. or if that doesn't work out maybe add a desaturation layer and start over with colors - might even look nice with some simple color contrast layers added.

[nazz]

so, i tried what you suggested, now if you could pick the best out of the variations.













im thinking 2,4 or 5.

[Jeff]

yeah - much better. 4 is my fav but 3 and 5 are good too (2 is a bit too bright/oversaturated for my tastes). add unsharp mask. sharpen the dude slightly (not too much) and it'll be great.

[Papa]

My bad. Your right I should comment better. I agree 4 is the best. I think also you should try wokring on text. It's a hard thing to get but default text's are usually the best. But overall the coloring on four is pretty good.
