This picture is my personal point of view on urban decay.
His name is Rob and he is homeless. Before i took his picture we spent some time talking about his past. He use to play football in high school.
Edited in CS4. Lots of dodging and burning to bring up texture.

I really like this portrait. Nicely composed, and the blue, yellow, red, and then bright red spots make for an interesting backdrop. I think of something different for Urban Decay -- namely, buildings -- but this isn't far off the mark.
My one criticism would be the artifacts of selective dodging, e.g., around the hands, and behind his back / head. Other than that, a very successful image.
He's got some powerful eyes that obviously have a story to tell. I like that you have the back ground OOF it defenetly draws the attention straight to him. Nice job.
