Isn't he a little young for Ohio State? ;-)

This is terrific! The way he is dressed seems out of place for a sports pic unless he is a spectator and is just making a mad dash to the porta potty. :P The DoF is perfect and noise is more tolerable and almost beneficial in many BW's.

What you can do is apply the sharpening, then undo, then set the History Brush to the sharpening step in the History palette and set the History Brush to 50% opacity and zoom in and reapply the sharpeningto specific areas that need it.

Hope that helps.

Great job, I like it. Nice textures to it. Would make a cool print.

Wow there is a definite picture of a picture feel about it

Not 100% sure whether I am a total fan of the flattening effect but there can be no doubt that it is a very striking image

I love the way you have filled the frame with this, works perfectly for this image and emphasises the natural symettry of the lions face

Even though this is your day 1 (waiting for some more updates :), I really like this shot. Perfectly executed with a straight on shot. Great tonality and a lot of interest.

This is one unbelieveable shot! Very stark and forboding! Excellent work!

Woohoo - top ten and a 7.1+ score!!! Congratulations. I can't believe I didn't comment on this already, because I rated it 9 during voting. The colors, swirls, and reflection in the bubble are so pretty, and the focus is crystal clear. With a score that high, it's a shame you didn't get a ribbon.
