Anyone have any photos I can edit for fun?

[Dominantly]

Here's three that I'd like to see edited...I'm not too great at it yet, so seeing what others can do always amazes me. These were from my P&S.

This one was fun!

Crap... I hope that wasn't a self portrait.

I have 400-something paintball pictures from this day sitting on Photobucket if you'd like to go to town. lol Most of them are pretty snapshot-y, but there are a few that could work...

You'd have to have multiple exposures in order to do this as true HDR.

oh ok, I have NO clue how HDR works....

Man...being a forum n00b sucks. I edited the guy & he looks great, but I can't show it to you because I'm not smart enough to work the pic upload thingy...grrrr....

ok wait, I think I got it.

Ok, here is a challenge, don't think it can be done LOL! Here is probably one of my worst photos EVER! Make this look like a presentable photo! Make the shed look worn and not stand out like a sore thumb! Fix the background whatever you would like. LOL let's see if it can be done!

Here is one version

Separated him from the rest of the photo
Tweaked the background in Topaz Adjust 4
Added a spot light
Edited him with some selective desaturation

That looks sweet! I don't know what it is about that photo, but it's one of my favorites. I know the shadow over his face deters, he's pretty much centered, etc....but I like the almost industrial feel of it, I think.

I can make it sharper, and have better contrast... but there is nothing I can do about the subject or the composition.

Well the background is hard to tweak on a B&W compressed jpeg (which was missing it's color profile), so I decided to focus on that shed and foreground a bit.
