I agree. Although Walters version is good, I like the darker feel to
the photo. Don't mind the bit of head chop, the chin, i think should
be all there.

Hi Frank,

I think both your own and Walter's versions are nice. The texture on
is chin is awesome. However, his ear doesn't hold much detail. Doesn't
match the overall texture in the pic, imo.

Dunno what you can do about it, tho. :-(

I really like but on my 17 crt that is supposedly calibrated it looks
a mite dark and flat. Probably just my taste as I like lots of snap in
BW.
You really are getting good at these BW shots. Which camera was this?

The rendering looks great. The framing is a little tight on the chin.

Hi Frank:  I like the rendering and close-upness of the shot.  I think I 
agree with everyone's comments about the tight chin crop.  The cut-off head 
does not bother me.  I like that look too.  Great blacks in this and great 
texture.
Cheers, Christine

Works extremely well for me Frank - good range of tones from light to dark:
a small cavil might be that the focus is on the sunglass frames rather than
the subject's profile, but there is good sharpness throughout.
