Coffee For a Photo
17 January 2014 -- 17/365
Providence, Rhode Island

The weather was rather comfortable for January, so I went downcity for some street photography. My original plan was to walk up to Benefit Street and get some photos near the colonial era homes. Crossing South Main Street, the gentleman you see in today's photo asked for some change for a coffee. Of course, that opened the door for a photo opportunity, and we quickly reached an agreement. A photo for a cup of coffee.

Post processing started with a classic filter in Topaz B&W FX. I adjusted color sensitivity sliders, adaptive exposure, regions, contrast, boost black, and boost white. A levels adjustment was added in PSE.

Here's the high res version in Smugmug: http://kannafoot.smugmug.com/Photo-Challenges/PAD2014/i-n2XVc34/0/XL/2014%2001%2017_0003%20copy-XL.jpg
Great B&W shot...definitely got your 'sitting fee' worth for this pic!

I imagine anyone would have been photo worthy, but this man is especially interesting for a photograph.
