I do believe the adage Bob Malarz referred to is true. And this subject is a perfect example of it.

You also have a shot that can be viewed as a 'politically humorous' shot. It is of the guy shooting with the sign beyond his camera/phone. Upper right corner. (Crop up above your intended person, and to the post from the left.) "Holier than thou camera?"
I like the B&W, with more contrast.

Bob, there's an old saying, and I wish I could remember the person who said it. With people photography, black and white reveals the person. Color reveals what they are wearing.

Thank you.
This is just what I can do. I'm sure there are others with more PP experience that can really bring him to life. Hope this helps.

If you have Photoshop you should be able to select "subject," go to inverse, maybe enlarge or reduce the area a few pixels and blur away. Even change the exposure of the bkground if you like?

Very interesting subject. I really like to do street photography and this image is definitely a B&W image.

Duplicate the image. Apply blur to the top layer to the point that you would like the background to be. Apply a mask to the same top layer and paint out the gentleman on the top layer.
Nice shot. People (IMHO) are the best subjects.

Not a big fan of B/W, but I like this one. I also like seeing the post processed versions. Learning what can be done... Saving the images, and the comments about what was done.

I think you did a fine job with these, Bob; I just took #2 and enhanced it a bit.

The final result is a Portrait. Both Color and B&W.
The "street" was just superfluous information. There are at least three "street" stories, though, in the shot.
With the idea to 'blur' or 'bokeh' the surrounding street information, the intent was to present a Portrait study of one person. And that resulted in a fine capture.
