Thanks for your comments Bleau. I have a greyscale verstion of it as well. I liked it enough to keep it, but didn't like it as much as this. Actually, the opposite of what you anticipated happened. The photo became less clear because the eye was less able to distinguish the person from all the details surrounding him. Since his colors are very bland he stands off the colorful background here. In the BW he just blended in.

I tried a few things with this image,eventually just lightening the detail and then going to greyscale.
The image itself was still quite confusing but by taking the heat out of the colours it made it a little clearer.
