Okay! Here is what I have done today. More detail added to Cowboy's face; played around with foreground; darkened hand; but does it look better?

Cowboy Update

Here is what I have been working on today. Balancing the colour of the forground to match that of the background is very tricky! I have done somework on the mans face but it needs finishing and I have altered colours and composition of the for and mid ground. Not satisfied so I will be back at it tomorrow!
