Thank You Rod. I used a PS plug-in filter from Alien Skin called Exposure 2. It offers several BW conversion filters and this one just seemed to fit the fellow's mood at the time.

Well done Troy this is a departure from what I expect to see from you & it works really well. It seems over processed with the skin not looking real. What sort of treatment did you give this? Great work mate.

Thank You, Jano. Prison is a hard life and unfortunately that is where most of his adult life was spent. Now out, he is having a hard time adjusting I think.

I like the treatment Troy! Perhaps a tad oversharpened around the glasses and chin whiskers...but I love this gritty look. That aside, I think you captured what you intended to do very well. It makes me really hope that he can find a kinder path to follow - much too young to have suffered so much. jano

Thank You Sue Anne, Dab, Jim, and TV. I won't go into detail here but this is my wife's nephew and has led a very rough life and I tried to depict that in this image.

The dark and gritty treatment gives him a hard edge. -tv
