This is the one with the OOF log through and behind the head. I cloned it out and really appreciate the suggestion. I think it makes a fantastic improvement.
Comments appreciated.

Cloning that part of the log out made the difference between night and day with this image. Well worth the extra PS to make this one really nice. I love the subtle colors...with just the touch of red. Excellent.

It's a beauty as reposted. It was nice to begin with but you are right about the improvement. As Lana said, the touch of red really sets off this photo, almost monochromatic with a spectacular accent.
