Great shot, well rendered tonal range! …can almost read his emotional state!

Have to agree with Daniel. Nicely captured with fine gray scale. I dig the window lighting on his face. I would have preferred a less dramatic vignette as it seems to contradict (sorry couldn't find the right word) with the lighting on his face. Just my personal opinion. Cheers.

I like the light and the expression , very nice image I would like to see the version with less vignette to make a comparison.

[Shadowman]

He's definitely got that look, nicely captured.

[John 2]

That's one for the album. Nice capture.

A beautiful capture. Great expression.

This is the SOOC shot just resized:


This was simply desaturated in ACR but has had no processing:


As you can see the light falloff was fairly strong to start with so I added more to concentrate the viewer on Dylan's face. The toning I think adds to the image but that is likely more subjective or even personal.

A wonderful image! I generally don't like a vignette that is this intense but it works really well for me here, better than the image without it. Such great toning!

Great capture Robin!

[John 2]

The colour version is just as good. That's two nice images.

[Black Pearl]

Thanks for the comments.

The colour has the distracting (to me) green Mine Craft logo thing on his t-shirt that pulls the eye away from his face hence I went mono - he a great subject though and very relaxed in front of the camera which helps immensely.

For B&W , IMO the one with strong vignette works better

[Marie Hass]

Nice. I like your treatment very much.
