Excellent.
Great job too on removing the car reflection from the window. John

great treatment! i'm often not the biggest fan of b&w versions of colour photos (i
always miss the colour) but this one works really well.
will you be attending the awards on saturday? if so, maybe see you there? caitriona @ 27 February 2008
Great shot full of character and excellent post-processing. Iņaki @ 27 February 2008
Thanks everyone! This was a candid shot as I walked along the other side of the road.
Unfortunately the light was very harsh and, even though I timed it so no cars were passing, the car which was parked across the road was reflected
in the window. I processed the RAW file to extract the blown out data caused by the harsh light and used a layer mask to blend this information
back into the original. I then spent some time cloning out the distracting reflections in the window. I guess I just wanted to simplify it to show
that everything within the frame was this mans life so to speak.
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
@caitriona: All going well I'll be there
on saturday - I'll keep an eye out for you! Kevoto @ 28 February 2008
