It&#8217;s a clean edit in raw in Lightroom, although my white balance might be a little too warm, and then a lot of layers in Photoshop &#8211; a bit of radial blur, masked off of him, and a couple of levels layers. One layer darkens the midtones in the background, one gives it that reddish golden tint, and I popped the contrast around his eyes a little bit. I need to figure out how to make his freckles pop more!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think? Do you like the clean edit or the more creative edit? I always struggle to find a balance between the two. I love the creative edits, but wonder if people don&#8217;t find them too heavy handed.  It&#8217;s still fun to play!<\/p>\n<p>(Also?
