Here's a product of my efforts scramlbing around in this faux-urban environment and capturing it's (fast-moving) inhabitants. Critiques welcome!

It looks like you've dodged in PS to lighten him....it also looks like you used neat image to smooth out the image. I did an edit to my taste, a slight curves adj' and some burning in.

He lacks a bit of 'motion' like one of those autosport shots you see where the car seems to be parked on the race track. https://photography-on-the.net …/showthread.php?t=1203740

Thanks for the tip Roger. I did dodge him a bit, but there was no neat image on this one. I'll keep that in mind on some of the others from this session. Thanks! James

Roger, et al, here's another try with a different frame. I have some thoughts but I'll save them for later. I appreciate the insight.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. James

Much better in terms of contrast and tonal range, nice work.

Thanks, I'm glad you guys like it. I used desaturate to convert this and then played with curves. I also burned in the bystanders in the background in so they blend better. Any suggestions? James

Click the monochrome box and try 60% red, 30% green, 10% blue then fine tune with curves for contrast you can vary the percentages of course but they should add up to 100%. You may still need to do a bit of burning in here and there. This process seems to get a better tonal range. You can also check out the digital monochrome tutorial on the forum.
