Light and Dark

Very mild alteration, comments?

A bit unsharp, but very good composition for such a capture. Lighting is also good. r.

Works for me... terrific!

Looks like you have softened it with a filter. If so, which one?

I added a touch of Diffuse Glow in Photoshop6. That and converting to B&W were the only changes from how it was captured. I had to use a very low shutter speed because of the very low light, and I think that contributed to the soft feel, as he was in motion when I opened the shutter. Thank you for the comments!

Thank you, I will try that. I sometimes use NoiseWare Professional when there is a lot of noise because of low light, high ISO and slow shutter speed. But the downside is a sometime unnatural lok. Here you have got his skin a bit on the soft side, but with his rough image and pearcings, it works very well. And the normally too dark eyes works too!
