Something a little different to my normal uploads. While on holiday in budapest I spent a day walking around taking a few candid shots. I saw this guy trying to light his cig with the little of lighter fluid that was remaining and took a quick shot.
As I said this is a bit different to more normal landscape/B&W so all comments/crits most welcome
Thanks for looking
cheers Rick

Reality.
I think this would actually work rather well in (fairly hard, contrasty) b&w.

I was thinking that myself, but I've struggled to get a good B&W out of it. I'll upload a B&W version, but i'm not really that happy with it...
Hi Rick,
Most of the tones in the colour version are very similar to one another. Even if you increase the saturation before you convert it, I don't think that it will have sufficient depth.

I like V2. If it were mine, and being essentially lazy, I'd set the Burn tool to Shadows, about 2-3% exposure, and a humungous brush size, and sweep it over the man a couple of times. It pushes the foreground forward for me.
