Original Shot




After

[Donal]

I like the skin tone on the shoulders. Can you post how you made the changes please.

[furrtig barker]

wow. very nice the way all the colors have been brought out, not only in the skin but the red roof as well.

[Photologyst]

Nice shot! Wish I were there.

I would probably blur the people slightly and keep the boat.

[jiannisk]

Thank you all.
I will try to remember what I have done but it was a combination from lightroom and cs 4. For the skin I used the surface blur filter to soften a bit with a second layer and then playing with levels, vibrance, hue, saturarion, and color balance.

Try this--- you can fade the the people at the back, and make the boat more clear and crisp in color. Add some brighness on your face esp your forehead to make it look more sunny.
