He is Jimmy, the not so popular local watch-your-car-guy across the street. If you want to be assured nothing "bad" happens to your parked vehicle, you must befriend this guy.
I was a little bolder in my post-processing here. Nothing over the Advanced Editing type tho. I'm emulating something like the Dragan effect. Still am a long way to go.

I like his face...but, find the darkness (burning) throughout the rest of the image distracting...and there is haloing around the side of his face. I think you would have been better to skip the burning or at the very least, limit it.
This shot is pretty good but something about the darkening of the red t-shirt doesn´t appeal to me, too obviously burned in or something, same goes for the wall in the backround and the resulting halo around his head. Gave a 6, this image could have scored a whole lot better from me with some better/more convincing post processing.
Bravo!!!
The editting here creates amazing intimacy .... almost too much. Puts a whole lot .... right in your face. So whattaya gonna do about this mess?
Beautiful.
excellent capture - the lighting on the image in general is great but I really don't like how much the background is burned in and the face is so dodged - the right idea to tell the story, but i think it is just a bit much...7
Love the lighting. I feel as though that blur to the left of him is a bit distracting. I might've re-cropped it to eliminate that altogether. Wonderful focus and the catchlights are super.
don't think the processing does this very good portrait right. a closer crop might also have helped the image, i find thr blurred thing at left very distracting.
