 Not sure this will do well because I like it too much. Thanks to my hubby for being so patient because I suck at lighting. I took about 50 and only 3 turned out half way decent. Looking at it again I think the crop might be off. Oh well to late now, let’s see how it does.

Levels (huge amount of playing round)
Converted to B/W
Brightness/contrast
Curves (very little)
Crop (again huge amounts of obsessing)
SFW
Border
Sharpened

One of maybe two pirates that actually LOOKS like one. Great tones, expression, and sharpness. I'd crop more off the top, but this should finish in the top 5. Good work! 9

Best of the pirates. Details like stubble and the leather(?) vest help to separate it. Great expression. Nice lighting. Why did all the pirates lose their right eyes? Just curious.

Great expression. Your use of B&W here is fantastic. I am really impressed in your lighting across the frame.
