I kind of like it and it's interesting, I would however liked it more without the filter effect and if there was more space in front of him...looks a bit cramped in front. Like an oil painting and ran out of room. On another note... very similar to an oil painting I did back when I was in school, although it was natural in color.
Thanks, the picture is just meant to stir up a little discussion -- each has their own taste in things.... and maybe a few will offer their own submissions,
I like the picture. If i wanted to play around with it, I might move subject just a touch to the right to give little more room in front of him. I'm not for sure on the blue but it does look different. I curious how other shades or B&W would look. But i like your shot.
