The photo was taken with a “Multi Image 5” filter on the camera.
It was cropped and resized.
I made adjustments to hue, brightness and contrast.
Finally I used unsharp mask.

the flare makes this photo very interesting but I'm not sure about his action. IMO, the confusion of the composition could go well with the challenge but the the subject doesn't tell that.
I think the color works more in this photo than the subject -- hard to tell what I'm seeing here. Blur and graininess are ok because of the theme, I think. I like the balance between light and dark.
