here is my attempt.
I think this technique is best used on aged faces. It was a challenge to enhance the pores & lines of this youthful face.

but hope you lile.

I gave this an attempt using filters and blend layers with a touch of burning at the end. Its not great but i like it.

Leuallen, I like the background you have chosen. The pose itself is quite static and that long diagonal in the background makes the whole picture look much more dynamic. Great choice.

I have never tried this style before and didn't managed to get that desaturated, dark, oversharpened, high contrast, blue-steel look. In fact, I ended up with a highly-saturated, airbrushed, almost cartoon effect.

after looking at the site you said your son liked the 50 cent picture I had to try a different approach...

-worked on the shadows and highlights with d & b
- added background
- added noise

hope he likes this...if you want I can send either psd file or jpg !?

cheers
