 Happened across this guy in the park...Thought it was a nicely framed shot
dup layer used gradient map to make top layer b&w
used background eraser to cut out guitar player and the blur tool to smooth his edges
applied kodak air brush to entire shot and added some vignette with the lens correction filter
=========================================
i like the challenges because they make me think in creative ways to fit things into the rules....but i am definitely going to stop thinking that the shot should do fairly well going into it because i am usually disappointed

Oh, very nice, I like this a lot! Really suprised it wasn't voted higher, still a good score in a very tough challenge in terms of difficulty and shear volume entry wise. Love the black and white in this it really sets it off!! Great shot!

The black and white tones are very nice in the rest of the pic. Love the play of light in the entire pic. I would like to have seen a tad more color (if possible) from the man - to make him pop out a little more. This is a great capture!

Was it the fourth of July...grin? I'm feeling the need for a touch more snap from your desat area, especially the water. I like the two tone border.
