Took this for a friend of mine... But I can't figure out how I want to edit it.

Can someone help?

not entirely sure. It is my last one that I wanted to edit for him. The other photos are in my portfolio if you wanted to check them out.

I just want it to look good... No theme in it really... just, good. Lol! Sorry I didn't help too much! Haha!

I would say you should crop higher...it's slightly awkward cutting him off at the shins...at the thighs is a bit awkward too. What a dilemma. XD I like what you did with this one, there's something almost heroic in it:

Is it for a band or something?

Just a quick edit and crop. Messed with some color, sat and sharp/noise.

No this is a family. All siblings here.

Thanks guys! I have been working on a few edits. Not sure what I will do yet but you all have given me some ideas. :)

Thanks again! Keep trying if you would like because the more ideas I have.. The better! :)

Does he have a sense of humor?

HAHA!! If it is ok with you I would like to save that one into the CD that I am giving him. Just for shits and giggles...

Here is my super fast edit, it's a little pixelated because I didn't realize you uploaded a large version. With this photo I think B&W or Sepia works best, I increased the brightness, dodge & burn (specially the face) and added a vignette.

This is the idea I got from everyone's combined (minus the last two).

Did I over edit?
