This is the original image. It could be improved by adjusting the brightness and reducing some of the shadows.
In this image I have used the auto colour, tone and contrast features in Photoshop, though I feel the image could still be improved.

I adjusted the brightness and contrast manually for this image. I am happy with the contrast, however in some areas the image is overexposed. I can fix this later using the burn tool.
In this image I have applied an unsharp mask filter to improve the image by sharpening it.

This image has been enhanced using the dodge and burn tools to fix the areas which were overexposed or underexposed. For example, the shadows on the subjects face have been reduced.

When I was happy with the image, I experimented with cross processing following an online tutorial. I created a new adjustment layer and adjusted the curves in the red, green and blue colour channels to create this image.
