amazing shot...this is exactly the type of portrait I am looking to play around with using the Dragan effect.
That subject has such a presence in the photo. Its a person I think regardless of the setting would demand attention and attract he viewers eyes.
Great shot and I do like the B&W best but the original has a nice graphic artist type of feel to it with teh gradient or two colors at its edges....really good job peach!
