There's a free version which is not as powerful as PS or PSP but it allows you to do lots of things that Irfanview can't. (eg layers, various levels of sharpening etc). You have to register it with Serif but registration is free and they don't inundate you with emails urging you to buy the full product. http://www.freeserifsoftware.com/ Great photo, by the way.
