taken at the Old city of Jerosalem. looks like he had better times and defently was a good looking man.
shut in raw, made few adjustments, then continue processing at photoshop:
levels + (curves-cross process)+high pass filter + dodge/burn + unsharp mask.

Kobi, I know I've told you how much I love this photo already, but I want to tell you again how much character is oozing from his face. There's a harshness about his "story", but there's a sparkle in his eyes. You did such great photojournalism over there!
Wish his nails hadn't been so filthy but I guess he really wouldn't know what to do with a nail brush anyway!
I love this image though. Lighting is superb and I don't think you could have cropped it any better.
Very nice picture, but I think you sharpened it far too much as indicated by the unnatural texture of the beard and skin but mostly the white fringe around the hoodie.
