I was surfing around and I came across this image. It looks almost 3d, and Id really like to be able to recreate this look using photoshop, assuming its possible.

I suppose it could be a sketch

I've seen similar effects from careful adjustments to contrast, exposure and sharpness.

Starting from a shot that had good exposure and lighting is of course a requirement.

I would think to convert to black and white then play with the individual R, G and B components of the image. Just my guess.

it would probably be best to convert that image to a link to the original gallery where you found it. It's against the rules to post someone else's photo.

It looks like a psuedo hdr converted to B&W

Well if you use lightroom or ACR and you have a properly exposed shot preferably in RAW format you could crank the fill the blacks and clarity sliders, adjust exp, brightness, recovery and contrast to taste. Also crank the Vibrance, and drop saturation down low around 5,to drop out the color and if you want to play with the overall mix of tones after converting to BW play with the WB settings!

Looks like Dave Hill-style processing then a b & w conversion.

Looks like a heavy high-pass filter, maybe set to hard light?

I'd guess the original also got some (read: a lot) clarity slider as someone else mentioned.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Ill have to play with this information.

Im not sure how much raw editing I can do, im using Digital Photo Professional that came with my canon camera's. I dont have lightroom yet because im still using Photoshop CS1.

Some of the above suggestions will get you into similar territory. You might also try Topaz Detail. Another technique is to process normally in ACR and then in PS create a duplicate layer, invert that layer, set it to vivid light, add a gausian blur close to the max. Ctl+shift+alt+e, delete the layer set to vivid, set top layer to overlay and adjust opacity to taste. Can create amazing sharpness without halos if you learn how to adjust the gausian blur part.

Looks like a B&W conversion of a faux HDR to me.

I've done some b&w hdr that had this result. Giving it an almost sketched look.
