I found this image very interesting because of the cast under the nose - simple (?) to remove before adding a touch of colour.

The statue was on a lawn and thus the reflection from the grass on a sunny day added the cast

First I used the magic wand to mask the area with the cast.Then to RGB for a shadow,highlight,neutral.Then a new mask for the disc of the nose and a shot of saturation boost in Lab.Last a bit of adjust sharpness.GregM (I can think of a further step ,but I don't know if  I need it)OK,I included a acv file that cuts back some blue,but I see no difference?

having not seen the original and knowing how stone can vary greatly I'd have to say that is a fair correction...A tiny and I mean tiny bit blue but it was a cold day and the sky was very brilliant that day....


Good Work GM
