I like the composition ... because of the leading lines, the centered composition works. Low key works. Processed a bit further than I would prefer.

I like your subject. At first I wished he popped off the background a bit more. On second thought, it makes sense that a person such as he blends into his environment, becoming invisible to the rest of us ... 8

A nice artistic interpretation. Almost wonder if this one, while quite good in B&W, might work in color as well - I guess it depends on the colors on the mural behind him. Good tonal range, very nice detail.

You took a good photograph and ruined it with all the process work. Bad vignetting as well.
You should have stayed more natural with this. You had a great subject for the challenge and basically turned it into the way over used HDR process.

Kinda overboard on the HRD, but still interesting.

Even though this is a street shot and wonderfully edited and I'm sure that you caught this shot purely on the spot, it doesn't seem as "candid" as I see SP to be. Still nice shot

I like the processing even if the image looks slightly contrived to me. 7

Death by overburning. Mega heavy.

I can appreciate that you probably are a fan of this post processing, but I think that your treatment competes with your subject. I think just a well done standard b/w treatment with a slight vignette would make the guy and his art behind him the main subject instead of the post processing being the main subject.
