Thanks for the favs, peeps. I knew that this aged technique would not be well received by all but I couldn't compromise the feel I wanted just to get high votes. I'm pleased with it and I appreciate the comments.

I had you pegged for bucket - really a smashing success of a portrait here, very evocative. Placement in the challenge is a crime of course - this is a 10 in my book.
I really like this shot but feel the mans arm disappearing is a distraction, to me the crop could have come down far enough to make the arm disappear at the top which would have made the photo. Still a very nice image with a a lot of emotion.
