Great Portrait! He looks quite formidable! Reminds me of a snow shot I took recently - I processed the raw but only increased the contrast. By the time I was going to post it I realized I hadn't pulled in any color - was whilst I was still feeling not too well. Everything was black and white except for light coming out of another apartment window and some red Christmas lights hung on the patio of another one. I should maybe post it as it is, after seeing this one of yours.

Nice post-production ... is this using the new technique?

@Aaron Schmidt: No, not the new lengthy technique --- just Adobe RAW adjustments (lower the sat, increase the contrast) and a little curves and levels adjustment in CS2. Nothing else for the coloring. And a little USM.
