As you can see, the curves are very small and there's not too too much done.
As for softening the picture, do you mean making the face a little darker and keeping the rest light?

No problem! :) And to achieve the face being slightly darker, I'd maybe make a levels adjustment layer (or maybe a brightness and contrast layer) and make the whole picture a little darker. Then go onto the mask (the white box) and fill it with black or invert it. then, with a soft white brush set to low opacity, paint the dark areas back in over the face only.

Hoogleman, help me on this i really love your first pic, the one u asked me to download is almost the same but i love ur first one.. i really dont know how to edit it because the layer thing u did is so complicated... i really wish i could do like u did.. here i attached the first pic u made and the one u asked me to dowload..

here is it:
1. i love the words u make the DIESEL.. it looks the pic is a poster
2. the yellow thing on the neck and too bright on the shirt
3. then hands on the original is nicer but with reduced bright
4. the one u made originally is more black which is very nice...

please help me make it like what u did before... i really love that and plan to show it to my brother.. i hope i dont ask too much from you, if so i apologized but i really love it :D

You only need to cecrease the exposure of my reduced exposure level and you are there really and just on the layer mask where the headlights are paint back in the darkness create a new layer and then and use the light beam brushes.
