Something like this. Noticed it was shot at ISO 800 so when looking at the file closely you can see a bit of noise but its not overly noticeable and could probably print very well to 8x10.

I'm not all that good with PP, but I'm playing around with NX to see if it's worth buying, and I thought I would give it a go.

Here is original

and here is what I did in NX. Actually I cheated a little, I ran it through Neat Image first to get rid of some of the noise.

Don't know if it is much better, but I thought it was somewhat better. I didn't like the ornage glow on his jacket, and that was one of the things I tried to correct. I also tried to lighten her face and get rid of some of the contrast as well as some of the sheen. I wanted a softer look. Just remember, my opinion is worth every penny you are paying for it.
