I just tightened the image to focus more on the subject and remove a little bit of what I consider noise from the background.
I upped the contrast a touch to make the cuffs darker as compared to the suspects shirt.
This removes what I saw as a slight problem area - the man in the jacket's neck without a head.
ok. my workshop sucks but it is hard with a small image and not a lot of time to work on it.
Basically what I did was make him not so dark and try so simulte a shallower DOF. Of course I hate it when people do this with photoshop so I would suggest doing it with the lens.
So, my workshop sucks but this is closer to how I personally think it should look. Just my opinion though. JP
1) converted to b&w (duh!)
2) sharpened
3) used quickmask to create a redial gradient mask around the face and then created a curves adjustment layer to add more contrast
4) created a layer with a black radial gradient fill and changed the blend mode to Overlay.
I may not be using the right terminology so if this is too confusing I will try to explain better.
