Me and Auntie on her 87th birthday. Passed the RAW version of photo through PS Elements 9 first, to enhance, then remove the heavy blemishes, then refined through PortPro.
I would say (at least on my monitor), the "after" looks a bit too warm (yellow)...I think the image color balance should fall somewhere between the original and the after.
A veteran is someone who, at one point in their life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America," for an amount of "up to and including my life".
