I'm usually not a fan of over processing, but this works for me. I love it. The only thing I'm not sure about is the busy part of the fence, esp on the left. I love his position, the look on his face, the hands... this is going into my faves. Great job.
I'm not crazy about the effect created here by the post processing. Having said that, I love the subject and composition. The textures are amazing, from his face to his hands to his clothing, there's so much to look at here. I wish there was more separation - visually - between the background and the subject. It's an amazing shot that I think will be punished by your choice of processing. The halo created around his jacket, the duotone appearance, etc.
Interesting subject and the processing seems to bring out a lot of detail. However, it does seem to be a bit over processed as there is quite a bit of haloing, particularly around the subject's head and right shoulder.
I like the contrasty post-processing that you have done here. It realy suits the mood of the image. I think the chain link fence, though busier than I would normally prefer for a portrait, really works here, too. It all makes such a busy and rough texture that gives the image a kind of grittiness that seems to really go with the subject matter. 7 from me.
I am not a fan of the effect, but beyond that not sure if the photo can hold it's own as a portrait. Also it is too sharp for this resolution. Below average rating from me.
A well composed image of a great subject. I love the texture created by your choice of processing, however, the halo around the man detracts somewhat from its effectiveness. I also find the background somewhat distracting - 7.
What a great capture! The slight smile makes this a charming photo. I wonder if voters will be put off by the processing? IMO the processing is perfectly done and makes a very beautiful work of art and powerful image. 10!
This one grows on me the more I see it, and have just come back and bumped it up already.....Bumping this up as high as I can, so it is now a "10".....
