    Personal opinion is that the guy checking the timetable and the "dumpster diver" work the best out of the 4. Red hat guy, seems soft and I'm not crazy about the PP technique, and in the first shot, I think you could stand to lose everthing to the rigth of the post and it would make a stronger image.

    Re: Men and Boys

    The dumpster diver is the only one that does much for me, I would like to see it somewhat sharpened (hopefully you have a better capture?) and darkened a little... here's a good article on B&W conversion in PS: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tut...lack-white.htm

    I wish I could say more, but I just toy around with the mixer until it seems right. I start with 70/20/10 for each combination and go from there.

    Hello Don
    The shot with the guy rummaging the dust bins has most potential here but I feel it is a little overworked.

    I really like the second photo Don. The guy looking at the bus timetable, with the bus in the background :thumbsup:

    Hi Don, I really like the 4th one also. I also agree that it's a bit overworked. A bit of artifacts and stuff. but good eye in catching it!
