Hiya folks
I'm kinda stuck on one of my images, most of the stuff i want is done, but i'm stuck with a skin problem, particularly the skin in the face, its no that i can smooth it out, its more of skin tones.  since the image is backlit i'm having really problems with fixed the skin tones at the face.

I'm uploading a Dropbox link for the PSD file in the current state (after i did most of the stuff)

I'd really appreciate any help, probably easily corrected with Dodge and burn but i really im terrible at it...


Thanks in advance
P.S advised that you download the jpg since dropbox really manages to slaughter it

since you already have a very specific idea of the image in your head, i suggest you tell us. it will save time, rather than us sending several options until you find the exact one you want smile

Its less of an "Idea", it just a problem i keep running into with the skin tones.

i meant the idea of the final result. e.g i'd personally make it more yellow-orange to be in contrast to the sea, while you on the other hand want to still have the cool tone to give it a certain look you want (or whatever other reason). like this: both edited skin tones are okay, it just depends on what exactly you want.
