Hi John, if you have time I would revise the original file and make a Virtual copy, then work on that.

The blacks/contrast are heavy, to the point where some areas of shadow are very clipped, so you check the Histogram? You may even want to look at the WB too. The Fawn is looking a bit coarse, over sharp so I'm wondering if 1/000 was fast enough, could have easily gone to ISO3200 for more SS with no issue.

Hi John - I would also go back to the RAW and adjust the WB. There seems to be a heavy reddish cast. If you adjust the WB off the nose then the light becomes more golden. I would also go to more of a pano crop eliminating a lot of the darker bg and splotches in it.

TFS,
Rachel
