This is the better of the two -- I dont know what version of PS you have, but there is an "easy button" for helping with this in elements 5 that I use -- it's in the Enhancements pulldown menu for lighting and says SHADOWS AND HIGHLIGHTS - there is a sliding scale for adjustment... oddly, it always opens up with a certain percentage done and I generally have to pull back the correction but I have no idea why it starts out with the correction it does... I like this a lot better than your color photo of the jazz singer which lacks emotion that the title implies.
