Hey

I have a pic of my son that I really like, and I have had a few goes at editing it in Photoshop Elements, and I am never happy with it. Below is the image before editing, just as it was shot(it is a JPEG, but I do have it RAW if it helps), and then one of the edited versions that I have done:


Original



edited

The edited photo hasn't had a great deal done with it. I was hoping others could share how they would have cropped it, what other manipulation they might have done, etc. The is also a shadow from his arm(?) on the lower area of his face which is one of those things I really need to work harder at WHEN I am taking the pic :-( If there is a way to remove these sorts of problems, I'd love to hear about it
