Magazine Cover

A couple years ago I had an assignment to do an editorial portrait of myself and then used that portrait to create a magazine cover. I completed the project and was so proud of myself. However, I was just going through some old photos and stumbled on the project. I was surprised to see the quality of the work that I was so proud of. The photo was under exposed, was not color corrected, and it had no retouching. I can’t believe that I turned in an assignment in such a horrible state. Anyway I did some quick fixes and here is the improved photo. What you think?
