Nice. Lovely old time feel to this. This is such a subjective type processing and one could argue this way or that about the whites and contrast etc..but this is open to any style and interpretation and without saying how i would have processed it... I think this image works perfectly and from the looks of it.. you did it for a reason. Lovely work. Period

An awesome photo, but the challenge IS "smile", which is hard to spot here. Sorry about being so literal, but some challenges are. Well, to me. Technically, it looks like the sign he's sitting over is a bit over-dodged.
