This is a homeless person in Salt Lake City. I like to get out and shoot homeless people becuase they always have very interesting expressions, and their eyes and skin tell so many stories. I generally pay them a small amount, or offer to buy them a meal, so that we can help out each other. I wish I could have had more environment included in the photo, but I had only one lens on me at the time.
For editing, I adjusted the shadows, sharpened, increased contrast in the eyes via two curves layers, converted to black and white, and then added the original layer on top in color mode, increased saturation with a hue/sat adj layer, then added a blank layer on top and stamped the visible layers and changed the mode to overlay to increase saturation more. Adjusted the shadows some more, dodged and burned a bit, and then cropped and resized for the web, cloning out a small peice of newspaper in the lower portion of the photo. |

| this almost looks posed, but I don't think. It's a nice closeup. |

| your title works very well this image. Your processing, which normally I wouldn't like for a candid, also works well for your themes. And when you've got your themes working, you're golden! 8 |

| Excellent PP. The right eye (his left) looks a little too white, but I didn't notice the first time around so...maybe I'm wrong. |

One of many highly expressive images of faces in this challenge
Very nicely executed and I love the fact that you have used rich colours rather than converting to B&W |

| This image has a lot of character, with its bold, strong colors and the man's intense expression. |

| Over processed and over sharpened. Try pulling back a bit and then work it gently. |
