Hi BC, A great BW conversion with lots of detail, gives the eye/mind lots to take in. The only thing that keeps nagging at me is the difference in skin tone between his hand and face, it's almost as if it is some else's hand, if that makes sense.

Another cracker - lovely strong contrast which I'm a sucker for.

Love it Stu, fabulous conversion, love the texture of the skin, and the detail, great atmospheric shot.

Agree about the hand, but it's a very minor niggle in an otherwise fantastic shot! I *love* the eyes...

It is true about the hand... I needed it in as I wanted to show him smoking, but it seemed too light and distracting...I've over-cooked it a bit darkening it down, it does look a bit wrong and disassociated with what we see of him. I stopped this guy outside a pub, chatted to him and started taking his picture. He wouldn't actually pose... I wanted one with the cigarette in his mouth but he wouldn't... poor guy was just having a quiet cigarette until I appeared in his face... literally almost, camera had him up pretty close

Definitely worth a revisit on the PP front if you can edit the hand (you could always add this version as a layer and just overlay the edited hand into it).
