[Retouch] High contrast

[xversion1]

Hi you guys! What do you think about it?

I like it a lot.
How did you do it?

I hate to ask, duh, this is a colorization? Because I really like the B&W! Either way, I agree with Steve. Really nice work.

I concur, though with a picture of such contrast, would it be better with the background being darker?

Thank you guy! I made some contrast and I kept a little bit color so it's not totally B/W picture.
I agree with[FONT=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] sprucemagoo1 that the background would be darker [/FONT]

I had a bit of a go at this.

I like it! Very neat effect... seems to add age to the subject.
