Let me know what you think I should do to it before I send it to them. Keep in mind that I'm still a beginner in PS, so anything in depth will probably go over my head. (still can't get quick mask to cooperate etc.)

Some pp advice before I send this to my inlaws.
I took this photo of my bro in laws kids. I sort of like the different expression. The light, as mentioned before at Disneyworld was literally hell. I unsuccessfully tried to clone out the really bright spot on his neck. IT's been played with in Curves already to bring out the tone in the faces etc. I love the neclace in the mouth. I want to find the owner of that friggin red shirt and curse his conception. How dare he ruin the background of my photo?

Dooda, as far as snapshots go, it's all about capturing the moment - and I believe you've done just that!
Consider doing a contrast mask on the image. Contrast mask is basically - Make a duplicate layer. Desaturate and invert that layer. Apply gaussian blur of a few pixels. Overlay this layer on top of original, bring the opacity slider back to taste. Flatten image so it's 1 layer again. Then optionally opened up the Ctrl+U dialog box and raised the lightness and cut back saturation slightly, again to taste.
I've been away as of recent. I really like what you've done to this photo. Changed it just enough to get the idea across. IT's also given me an idea of things that you can do to photos, without sacrificing the photographer's intent.
Hi Dooda,
Like the shot! Just wondering if it appears with a yellow/green-ish cast on it on your monitor? Might have a bit of a play with it myself...watch this space. Geoff.
Did you desaturate?
I agree, it looked a little on the yellowy side, I was thinking of desaturating a little but never got around to it. Basically what you've done, exepte I think that I'd leave a little more, as it is a little too washed.
Nah - I used curves a bit more and changed the yellow/green colour levels a bit. Hope this helps. Geoff.
