I have been away for some days. So now I'm coming back to this thread.
Inspired by Shel's ideas I went back to the RAW-file and converted
it one
more time. The main idea was to get more contrast out of the file. I
succeeded in this. This gave me a head start. Based on Godfrey And
David
contributions I gave it another spin. I played it simple, no layer
masks
(I'm not very familiar with this tool yet).
What came out of this? Nothing really, nothing to show you. A
different
image, yes but not better.
This taught me a lesson: To listen to Shel. He is a vice man. He
told me
that I had to get a real idea of what B&W is about before expecting
good
results.
This is a family list, so I can't express my true feelings about
this guy.
Aaarg! ;-)
Ok. That’s it. Thank you all.

In that I'm not very proficient at PhotoShop I did this
the old fashioned way:
I used the virtualPhotographer plugin to convert to
B&W, Magic Wanded and darkened the sky, Dodged the
mans face a bit.
Increased overall contrast using Levels and sharpened a
bit.
Crude but if I had had a bigger image to work on it
would have turned out OK.

I know it is a lot of work to fill me in, but asking: How?

Here's my shot at it.
Also pretty heavy handed, but seems to seperate the elements
fairly well.
Very difficult image to work with due to its low resolution
and size.

I'd like to say thank you for all help before going to bed.
Especially
to
David and to Godfrey. You have both put a lot of effort and time
into this.
In fact you have done two decent tutorials. They are both
downloaded at
my
computer, at the desktop. A marvellous help.
I believe I'm not the only one who appreciates this. Guess I'm
not the only
newbie in town. Many of us have a few tricks to learn.
This does not have to mean that this thread is ended. There
are room for
more suggestions. And many more methods... Think you Don has
something
in
your sleeve ;-)
