Guest 07-Apr-2007 17:47
uVery sharp indeed. much more than the BW version.
Did you use photoshop 'blue channel' editing method to emphasis his skin texture?
I wish his eyes were just a bit lightened - by reduced fill in flash or later with photoshop adjustment layer & mask.

What is the sign on his nose - the Crosss?
