So I went back to college, and began a Photoshop class (which I ended up having to drop), but this was one of our first assignments...to revisit a picture and brighten it up. I think the details and color are a bit better now, and you can see Chief's tattoos which are a history of his family line and his ranking as a Chief of Samoa. In the background are the Ko'o'lau 's. The picture was taken while riding in a canoe on Kamehameha's Fish Pond, which is located behind Tropical Farms-- a business my Husband's family owns. The original can be found HERE

Well the post editing did work for sure, vivid colors, specialy the sky and the greens.
It must have been great to have been in Samoa ! thanks for the posting. (by the way, the clickable link does not work)

I can't compare it to the original, but it looks pretty vivid to me. The colors are quite bright.

Nice shot and reworking.. i can't say that the lighting is great, but i still think it is a good image with the dramatic mountains in the background, and the villagers traditional dress.

The colours, portrait and background are gorgeous. I feel it's still dark in some place, like the shadow on the chief's face and the lower part of the right foreground.
