Black and white portrait

I may, if I have time later. Also, almost 9k posts. Huzzah.
 
I think you need to reshoot the whole thing. I mean, if you can' produce a better b&w than that, maybe you just need to send me the camera and give up.
 
Well since I'm one post away from 1800 (isn't that a good tequila?) Why not make it 1800 on Tyler's thread.

Good point. Why not? It's the best thread to make it in.
 
Nice job, he looks like Don Cheadle.
 
We can't be friends anymore if you don't like tim meadows.

I like Tim meadows but I appreciate Dons acting prowess more.
 
Surprised Andy hasn't come back to comment on the changes I made per his suggestions.
 
I like this shot but, as an amateur photographer, I question why you don't have more light on the left side of his face. I understand the short lighting but his face blends into such darkness that you lose all detail. I'm not a pro, but it's my understanding that you should get a good jaw line when lit properly. To me, that would mean that the left side of his face could use more light.

What am I missing?

Did you check out the rework of the original? Just curious. I brought out some more detail on the darker side.

I thought the jaw line was pretty visible, but I suppose that's subjective. He did ask for a "dark and dirty" use of light. So I went with what he asked.
