Great capture, love the blue with the greyscale. I also really like the editing you did to the the B/W. It makes for a great image. Nice work.

Excellent shot! What did you do to make him so sad? You should be ashamed of yourself.
;P

This has great detail, tone values and placement. I think it's difficult to snap a picture of person and have it display such strong interest to a total stranger. This is something I aspire to and you've acomplished with flying colors.

Speaking of colors..... I think the eyes might have worked better for me if they were ever so subtle. The blue is just too deep and un-natural and really takes away from the mood of the shot.

When I see a de-saturation technique used in a photograph, I always ask myself... why was it used and does the end result look better than if the technique hadn't been used at all. I am using this thinking in my voting for this challenge. This would have easily been a 10 in another challenge. For this challenge it is still an impressive 8. It's a great capture.
