This is heavy. Brings out alot of emotions in a person. I'm glad you did it in B&W, I think colour would have destroyed the picture.

Thanks :)
I did most of the photos that I took in that area in Black and White - makes you see things differently!

I really love the subject matter but I'm not sure of the darkness of the picture... but then again I suppose that reflects the subject matter better doesn't it? What are you justifications for making it dark? (I'm trying to understand you're technique more if thats ok)

Hm, I made it dark as I felt it worked best. Making it brighter affects the white tiles around him and then they look blown out.
I liked the way it looked, basically - I agree that he could be lighter but that comes with the expense of the too bright tiles. I suppose I could have worked with layers, but I wanted to keep it as "real" as possible, if you get what I mean.

I have to disagree with =LinkinSim
colour would have worked more dramatically on this picture. Make no mistake, its a damn good picture...but i think it might be a tad too dark...I read you comments on making it darker....but you lost too much detail..
and since this is more journalistic than artistic..(IMHO)...blown white tiles would not have made much of a difference

awesome deviation :clap:
and a definate :+fav:

Realaties of life hey. Tossed between LinkinSim and Thermalraven though. I read this in PonyAnarchy's signature - "If you're photographing in color you show the color of their clothes - if you use black and white, you will show the color of their soul" - thinks it's very true to this capture. Nice work!!
