Another very last minute shot. I had pretty much given up on entering this challenge when I went for a walk around Chinatown in Sydney and took a few shots including this one.
I wasn't overly pleased with it straight off but after some editing I decided it's passable.
Editing steps were:
Crop, Curves, B&W with custom colour settings.
Darkened some of the whiter areas on the instrument, darkened areas of the hat.
Adjusted overall brightness, USM, crop again.
