had a similar idea for faceless portrait, but didn't get the chance to enter that challenge, so i figured i'd throw a bit of "face" in and throw this picture into this challenge.
from the original:
- auto contrast
- virtual photographer to convert to b&w, increase contrast, add image grain
- levels, curves
- dodging and burning
- resize, add border, smart sharpen, save for web.

high contrast works great here...love the huge negative space...
it overwhelms and isolates at the same time...just like those headphones...
great work!
Well done! The texture on the wall really adds something to the picture, especially by placing the person far away in the corner. The high contrast is also very nice.
