Hi Greg,

It's nice to see another correction of this image  :)

I've been working with your curves (thanks for attaching them, it's always a real help), and presume that you did your first pass in RGB (to set the white point)... I really like the idea of using the bird droppings. I wouldn't have thought of that in a million years! I also like the drop on the highlight endpoint in Lab - knocking down the brightness of the pavement really helps the image.

Nice work - thanks for sharing  ;)
Lee.

Greg M,
Interesting take on this but.....
The shadows are still blue...  See hue clocks...your correction also does not address the skin tones in the background.
