bless him...I would do that moody effect on this shot, its sort of sepia with exaggerated detail...it'll come to me, we discussed it yesterday. He has such a lovely face, I'd vote for him!
 
Here you go, the usual effort from me. Levels, curves, layers, b and w, crop, frame and burnt.

 
Personally, and this is just my opinion, I like the B&W for this fellow but the crop feels a bit cramped for my liking. I prefer the original shot as you can see his surroundings a bit more. Also the tone on his face makes his skin look a bit dark to my eye.

Feel free to shoot me down though.

Cheers

Excellent shot that conveys a lot about his personality.

I'd like to see the missing bit of hat and would prefer the background a little more out of focus - but the background seems right for the context. Predictably I feel the colour version is so much better. A choice between a warm living interesting character and a cold graphic in my eyes.

I glanced at this thread earlier (I think) and could have sworn there were different comments in it to what there are now :thinking: :shrug: :need a getting old smiley:

Ahh sussed it ... this is the second post of this picture - was in sharing before.

lol @ Robert, i just did exactly the same thing ! :)
 
Thought it was David Jason's brother for a moment. Rich character study. Every hair and must have a story to tell.
 
I think the original is the best of them, cropping out the England logo's not a good idea & pretty flat looking mono to (sorry Diego)

I like the depth of field, it's that way because it's shot at 35mm and i like knowing that he's on the street, and that's why short focal lengths rule the street.
 
Interesting processing jobe.

Makes it into an entirely different picture - and it still works.
 
no problem whatsoever jobe, i like it and it does work well (y)
