The subject and pose are both very expressive and the pendant suggests something about a story. Given the choice of going for high detail all over the image, I feel the out of focus little finger is a bit out of place. To be honest, this kind of processing and contrast are well over the top for my taste, but that's just my taste, I am sure many will love it.

take photo of wrinkly old man, apply nik filter effect (or some sort of HDR or high pass sharpening), post to DP challenge, get votes.

Sorry for my jadedness, the processing on this photo is a bit cliche, even if it does get good votes. The portrait would be more engaging if two things were done- have subject look at the camera, and less telephoto compression (shoot with a wider angle lens, such as 50mm or 35mm full-frame equivalent, but from a closer distance).

Wow, you seemed to have captured much more than an image with this shot. Lovely details, very intense.
