This image was a challenge with the dramatic sun flare, but I'm really happy with the results =)
Before:

Edit 1:

Edited in ACR (increasing the blacks, vibrance and only decreasing the exposure a little.)
Then on to PSE 7 where I did a slight levels adjustment on the midtones, used the dodge to lighten his face and burn on his clothes and a few of the highlights. The final adjustment was to increase the contrast +33.
Edit 2:

From edit #1 I used the Champagne Haze action from Florabella.
Thanks for stopping by and come back soon! =)
