Challenge: Black and White Portrait II (Advanced Editing V*)
Camera: Pentax K10D
Location: Bloor Street, Toronto
Date: Jan 5, 2007
Aperture: 4
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/30
Date Uploaded: Jan 5, 2007

 Met this fellow on the street and we talked for a while. Afterwards, I asked if I could take his photo.
Imported from raw with no saturation at 16 bit, and used many masked curve layers for D&B. Added a tinch of vignetting on the left side and sharpened the face a bit.

This would be a 9 for me if his hair hadn't been cropped so close.

I really like these types of images taken of real people on the streets. This is a great pose, interesting character and well edited. Excellent capture. Bumping upt o 9.

Great character - you've just cropped the top of the hair and I would have preferred to see it all if possible, but still a great shot.

Great expression and capture. The face is very sharp, especially for a street photo. I might - [i]might[i] have considered a tighter crop to get rid of the car, but the car does give a sense of place so has a point here. I think this is a very strong photo, great job. 8.

Too much contrast, too soft in some parts.

I really liked this the first time I saw it, then came back around and liked it even more. It means nothing of course, but you get my blue ribbon for B & W Portrait II. Everything works- it's just a great shot.

Great shot, Nice light. The only thing I would have done is burned the background down so he really stood out, and if possible, I would have try to eliminate the car from the background.
