I really liked the perspective on this shot. But I really disliked the background, and it didn't work as a silhouette. After some sharpening & brightening of the facial features, I decided to to try converting it to B&W. I liked it! Then I went a step further and added some selective coloring ~ mostly because I knew my son would like it.

I like what you've done! I'd defiantly be satisfied with that result if it were mine. Hope your son liked it.

It really changed the whole look of the shot. In a good way. The only thing that bothers me is the gray hand going into the colored pocket. It just looks off somehow. Other than that, awesome save. And the angle really is neat.

The angle is awsome! I love the selective coloring, the b/w hand didn't bother me. I am sure your som will love it!
