Up to no good

I posted this on another site and it was rejected for being "over

manipulated". I have only changed it from color to black and white. I

would like to hear from Photo.netters, any comments are appreciated.

Thanks.

I think the grain is really COOL. Love his expression. The conversion is very nice. Lighting couldn't get much better. Nice job!

You over did it so much his eyes are popping out! LOL, If the grain is what they are referring to, I think it works perfectly for his expression......We PN'ers.......were so easy. LOL

Wow, that surprises me that anyone could call this over manipulated! It is a wonderful portrait....love the intensity in his eyes.....and the grain!

great dramatic eyes - and to me, it doesn't look over manipulated at all?!? that's funny. it's like how facebook wouldn't let me sign up with my real name because it sounds so fake :)

Thanks everybody, I used the Exposure plug-in in CS3 for the B&W conversion and grain.
