I took this is my makeshift studio in my basement (basically I hung a sheet behind him and used my brother's halogen lamp to light his face from the side). I'm pretty happy with how it turned out but I think it will get knocked down for looking slightly gray and what not. Oh well...

Photoshop:
Levels
Color Balance
Curves
Saturation
Healing Brush
Channel Mixer to make it B&W
Unsharp Mask
Some other stuff I cant remember

I used the lasso to select each eye to make them seperate layers. I then used the Channel Mixer to make them slightly bluer. I didn't convert the whites of his eyes to B&W either.

I like how you left his eyes blue. Very nice.

Striking portrait. I like the selective color. The blue almost seems a little too saturaated, but I do like the effect.
