I brightened it with levels and then dodged the eyes a little to bring them out. Then I changed it to Gray Scale and resized. Then I used Nik color efex Pro's Blur vignette to to give it that centerspot effect. Also used was DCE tools auto enhance and Neat Image's Noise reducer and Nik Color Efex Pro's Dynamic Skin Softner.
Here I changed the levels and used DCE Tools Auto enhance to sharpen and adjust the levels as well as color cast. |

Here I dodged the eyes to lighten them up and emphasize them more.

Thank you for the superb explanation. This is why I like to hang out here on this board. I'll give it a try when I wake up, just got off from work. Thanks again Dawg.

That's great. I'm going to try the same thing you've done myself.
