Another day goes by...
Lens: 18-135 WR Camera: Pentax K-30 Photo Location: Auckland, New Zealand ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/200s Aperture: F5.6

I took this photo during my exam period at uni, I was outside the city library (Auckland, New Zealand) and I was just taking some random shots when I saw this man walking towards me. I thought he would make an interesting subject and I took the photo. In post-processing I made the photo look more like a painting and used some selective colour to make him 'pop'. Let me know what you think!

I think the selective coloring makes it look like the subject was photoshopped into the scene from a 2nd photo. Can you post the original for comparison?

I would try muting the colors of the man..maybe 75% of the way to black and white, so he's still in color, but not so much.

Great expression on the man and I like the idea of the pp, but might try Kozlok's idea of subtle touches of colour.
