This is my friend mike, just another assignment in photo class. Done in color converted to greyscale, except the eyes. It isn't as noticable as i would like but i'm just learning the technique.

I am currently taking a photo class too! Very excited about it. Anyway, Mike looks great, I love his shocked-but-about-to-laugh look. He made me smile, and excellent use of desaturation, leaving the eyes. I think it's better that it's subtle since because it appears to be all black and white from the thumbnail, when you click on it out of curiosity you see the effects and I think it's really neat. Good flat background with a gradient of shadow for Mike and nice cropping. I see you are having fun with your photo assignments, and I'll be watching for your photos, TFS!

Hmm, what about trying again. Take the shot, increase the hell outta the saturation, then lay a black and white copy over it and erase the black and white eyes to allow the saturation eyes to show through. Use the desaturate tool on it afterwards if you've gone too far!
Great atempt KEEP TRYING! :)
