A bunch of curve layers along with some color adjustments done in hue/sat and selective color. I also but in some soft focus effects, to put across the atmosphere in the photograph in a clearer way.

What the hell kind of a bike is that?! lol :) Really nice shot, I love the blue>yellow colours and the mist. I wish that one light wasnt directly above his head but still a great shot. 9
Looks like such a cool tough dude on his bicycle, love the cemetery setting, works well with the subject, nice focus, the light above his head is just a tad too intense, in my opinion only. Well done
Joey??? nice pix, excellent use of light, great use of atmosphere, color a bit flat but not disturbing, dragonized??, good dof, good texture, overall a keeper
I confess I am a motorcycle enthusiast. I was initially attracted to the thumbnail thinking this was a chopped bike. Seeing the full sized image, I liked even better applying this style to a bicycle (the prototypical symbol of innocense) juxtaposed with the tough guy "biker" image. Great idea and well executed. Among my top picks.
The lighting above the head is a bit too distracting. Maybe, if you darken his head a bit so it has more contrast from the backlight (i.e. like the jacket and bike) it would make that spotlight more easy on the eyes. Overall, I like the image.
Superb portrait with wonderful lighting and treatment. Gotta love this atmosphere. A small nitpick of mine would be that the highlights on his shoes seem a little too bright for my tastes and look very manipulated.
