I did not remove the background- it was shot against a hazy sky and I had to overexpose by two stops to get the shot.
Crop, levels, Hue/ sat, selective color, resize, unsharp mask.

Wow. Now that is very cool!! You timed that shot just right to catch him right in the middle. The only thing I can think of that would make this better is the color of the bg. Maybe a blue tint to it? But doing something like that in basic would also change the skin tone which wouldn't look good I suppose. Nice shot. bump
