- 1: Old man B&W
thanx,
I know the sbs is not the best. I forgot to save some inbetween steps. So I uploaded only some final layers. Sorry for that. Reply »

I also wish you have a longer step by step, his eyes are great and I would like to see the details. Good luck author, great job! Reply »

OMG, this man appeared several times in Pxleyes, but from different sources. One appeared recently as the source image in the Bearded man contest, provided by Jaskier (I though that he took the photo) http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-contest/15291/bearded-man.html. But the author of the photo you use in sxc.hu is the other person, and other shot of him was picked by Clinge to use as the reference in Dodge and Burn contest: http://www.pxleyes.com/photoshop-picture/4b223b756e126/Old-Man-Thinking---.html. Is that any coincidence?
Focus on the main thing is about your work, it's very well done, the sepia tone and the blue eyes fit perfectly
. However, I think if the bear is less sepia a bit, the overall contrast can be increased. Good luck!
EDIT: that's exactly what I suggest, very nice

It not just a matter of brightening some areas in sepia k5683!
Like I said i'm sorry I do not have the inbetween steps anymore
, but if you look closely hat, beard, face, eyes and bracelet also all have different colours
(and not with just an overlay, try it yourselves and you'll notice that it doesn't work that way).
Please don't judge entries (not only mine) on a SBS, there is seperate voting for the SBS....
Please judge in the result.. 
Thanx Langstrum for the useful comment, created more contrast between face and beard now, hope you like it!
