This is the original picture we were given to work with.
Here is my edited version
What did I do? Well I started out by adjusting my levels and brightness to considerably lighten the exposure. I then used the coffee shop eye bright action and I used a high pass filter on softlight blend mode to add an over all softness to everything but the eyes. To add some interest to the pack ground, I added an overlay of a texture photo (of cracked painted concrete) and masked out the face. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply. Hope you like it!
