guy reminds me of a graduate of Notre Dame law school for some reason.
So, what did the actual scene look like? Or does that matter?
I'm a total noob (I have a Nikon D80 sitting under a tree until Christmas morning), but I read a book that suggests you should try to depict the colors of original scene when editing. I'm sure that's open to debate, but what's your take?
As a side note, I'm a local guy who stumbled across your blog a few months ago and am hoping to join the crew on a photo walk after the unraveling of the D80.

This shot is actually depicted very close to as it is. Since it was shot in studio, I was able to control the background and lighting. The only manipulation in processing was an increase in saturation, a bit of softening and sharpening.
Depicting the original color is important, especially if there is the potential for your white-balance to get askew. Learning to adjust white balance to what your eye sees is an important and often overlooked thing for new shooters.
doh!
My bad, my comment actually was about the photo right BELOW the comment link, not above. So, I was commenting about the couple on the train tracks, not the graduate. My apologies for the confusion.
Does that change your answer?
