Brian, you're right. I fell victim to the old saw that "the last area painted is often the first area noticed". I debated toning down the shirt, but with the somber background I felt I'd lose cohesion and end up with a "spotlight" for a face. (Do you think there's a market for portraits of shirts? ; )
The tones ARE somewhat more satisfying in the original, and the shirt not nearly so prominent. Between my fumbling with the original scan, and than following Cynthia's kind attention (correcting most of my attempts at balance & contrast), the values have changed.
