    Interesting shot, George. It makes you look for a long time wondering what he is thinking....such an imploring gaze. As always, your processing skills shine. I also like the way you composed the shot. :saurora (I take it this is the man who posed for your shot of the 'hands'?)

    Interesting portrait, but too underexposed, and the green tint isnt doing too much for me :p.

    Wow, I like it alot.... the expression, the processing and the tone. One nitpick, I think the stark white background doesn't compliment the detail in the subject.

    I'd love to learn a little bit about your processing technique. Seems remeniscent of Andrej Dragan's style, but unique enough to consider your own. If you've already explained in another thread, please point me in that direction. Otherwise, could you give a sentence or two about your method?

    Regards,
    Mike

    Hey George!

    Without the processing, your shot would be just a great portrait.
    But your PS work is really amazing, the way you worked with contrast and toning and sharpening gave the photo this beautiful 'sketchy' feel.
    IMHO, it looks almost like something straight off an artistic graph novel or comic book of sorts! :D

    Beautiful work!
    And thanks so much for sharing!
