Well done, a bit stark but that is just a personal preference but for what you are trying to achieve I think you did a good job.

I think this is fun play - Just looked at random Avedon images. Seems to me blacks are a bit too black here which may account for the starkness A.L notes.

Thanks Marko - no disagreement, I pushed the contrast on this one a little hard.
