This is a shoehorn, but not out of character with some of what I've seen do well in the last challenge. This was one of several art installations in downtown Pittsburgh during the Three Rivers Arts Festival. The eyes are glass and the bright midday sun is behind his head. As timing would have it, that also meant capturing him at this imposing angle.
Shot in RAW. In PSP X2, convert to BW, curves, brightness/contrast adjustment, color balance layer for the reds and oranges, resize, noise reduction, JPG. Something like that.
