3 exposures, combined with Hdr software, colors saturated, levels adjusted, brightness and contrast adjusted. Converted to black and white, readjusted levels, brightness and contrast, dodge and burn specific areas within photo, unsharp mask, topped off with a black rectangular vignette. Thats all folks.

I like your subject. At first I wished he popped off the background a bit more. On second thought, it makes sense that a person such as he blends into his environment, becoming invisible to the rest of us ... 8
A nice artistic interpretation. Almost wonder if this one, while quite good in B&W, might work in color as well - I guess it depends on the colors on the mural behind him. Good tonal range, very nice detail.
You took a good photograph and ruined it with all the process work. Bad vignetting as well.
You should have stayed more natural with this. You had a great subject for the challenge and basically turned it into the way over used HDR process.
Even though this is a street shot and wonderfully edited and I'm sure that you caught this shot purely on the spot, it doesn't seem as "candid" as I see SP to be. Still nice shot
I can appreciate that you probably are a fan of this post processing, but I think that your treatment competes with your subject. I think just a well done standard b/w treatment with a slight vignette would make the guy and his art behind him the main subject instead of the post processing being the main subject.
