    I think it looks great- On the larger version it is colored slightly golden which i prefer on this over the b & w. Only thing i can pick at is the logo on his hat is somewhat distracting.

    I like this portrait a lot.
    It has a lot of great character in, even if it doesn't show a lot.
    I like the details in his face and the expression on his face is intense.
    I do like the other version much better.
    The warmer tone is just better.

    Re: Street Soldier

    'Intense' is the right word! Great detail and while I agree with the comment on the logo I don't think that there is much to be done to improve this. The version you link to is far better so would suggest you edit the post and replace with that image.

    Congratulations on the sticky!

    Thanks to all for insightfull comments on Street Soldier. I did re-upload the warmer version after removing the logo with PS clone stamp tool. I hope that you like the updated version, Respectfully, Leroy

    Just a wonderful portrait. Prefer the warmer version.
