 I converted to b/w to get a grittier feel, your loss is you can't see the 90 minutes of battle scars I put on - two black / yellow eyes, blood, swollen cheek isn't visible in this shot but it's there.

I was going for the Jake LaMotta (Raging Bull) look.

When I finished editing I noticed the crop wasn't the best, I should have been tighter on the face/hands - whoops.

Cindi kicked my ass.

this is a great shot and i love the noise/grain wotever & the excellent expression .. apparently you're an ok photographer and a budding actor as well .... lol ... the 'ok photographer' is me making a rather large understatement bye the way ...

LMAO I love this, really like the processing it most definitely adds to the shot. I wonder how long you'll be able to keep the competition up :))

Awesome stuff, JP. The processing is great, giving it an old-fashioned feel with the b/w and noise. I think you've got Cindi up against the ropes with this shot :)
