I took this is my makeshift studio in my basement (basically I hung a sheet behind him and used my brother's halogen lamp to light his face from the side). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but I think it will get knocked down for looking slightly gray and what not. Oh well...
Photoshop:
Levels
Color Balance
Curves
Saturation
Healing Brush
Channel Mixer to make it B&W
Unsharp Mask
Some other stuff I cant remember
I used the lasso to select each eye to make them seperate layers. I then used the Channel Mixer to make them slightly bluer. I didn't convert the whites of his eyes to B&W either.
