Don't feel like reading all the other comments, please forgive me if I repeat stuff.

I love it! I can be pretty unforgiving with blur, too often I feel that an accidental blur is being passed off as "artistic". Not in this case - it feels very much intended and makes a wonderful contrast to the static architecture.

I also love that you didn't HDR the living daylights out of this - it feels so right to see very dark areas, as well as glimpses of light coming in.

Saying that I don't care for the blue back pack would be way too picky, so I won't say it :-)

I just tried it in b+w - it looks good, too, but changes the mood quite a bit, so I'm glad you left those warm colors.

Jeffrey, great finish with this! You really did a great job editing - he just pops - and look at that beautiful catchlight :-) PS - looks like Steve got whomped in the head-to-head :-)

I like the progression! From really high key to really low key... interesting take. Nicely put together... it's cool how you chose one feature for each shot to show off. I could see this as a print as well... big one!! :)

Comment by Quasimojo:
Interesting and vaguely Warhol. What I've done before is played around with merging two (or more) layers, with the original photo underneath the threshold layer - then play with opacity and/or blending modes to bring out detail in interesting places (eyes and mouth in particular). Can get some really interesting effects.
