 Well, not really Vittorio but he sure looks like it to me. Tried editing this in color and got flustered with the variance in skin tones. When that happens .... go B&W I figure.

This was a shot I took at a wedding. He is Mr. Campbell, the father of the groom and for certain is not Italian.

Yes, I like Photoshop. lol

Enjoy.

This looks like a shot where the man really has some kind of interesting story to tell. I love the processing and the background is beautiful.

I like the idea but find the background over powering

The border here makes me feel like I'm looking through a viewfinder. Your editing really brings out the details in his face, but I feel like you've lost something of the original lighting because of it.

That frame is just so horrible - yet the portrait is outstanding.

The photo itself is great. Good lighting, composition and DOF. Your border is distracting and slightly hurting the photo.

The slight haloing detracts a little but a good and interesting shot nonetheless.

Lots of character and nice definition in the background. Gutsy landscape mode for a portrait. This looks like a certain picture of Salvador Dali.

excellent shot and in my opinion you stopped just on the edge of going to far with the processing on his face
