Comment by bvy:
Remarkable indeed. Bill clearly has a lot of stories to tell. There's so much to take in here and the image is bursting with texture and details. For that reason, the heavy handed processing was unnecessary. It's a busy enough image as it is, and I don't think the Topaz-like treatment was needed at all. (But I have a feeling I'm in the minority on that.)

Comment by geinafets:
This image looks tone mapped/topazed, which definitely helps balance the spots of bright sunlight with the shadows, but I think this brought out too much detail in his skin, making him look much older and dirtier. I'm not sure that is terribly nice to make someone look like that. The sign and any other elements in the image should be able to convey his situation without the added "dirt" of post-processing.
