Finally found one! This should put the forum arguments to rest - they DO EXIST ;o)

He's actually under a bridge in Seattle on (believe it or not) Troll Avenue (see below). I'd heard about him awhile ago, so when my wife & I were down in the area shooting for the "Black & White" challenge - we went hunting for Trolls !!

pp:
DPP - convert from RAW
CS2 -
- levels to mask/darken the background
- a lot of dodge & burn troll & car
- cloned out a couple of specs & some tiny garbage.

For some perspective - here's a shot with the street sign included:

The white highlight at the bottom of the eye gives this a "Its alive" look, I hope the details are available to see how and where it was taken. Different!
