Pure monochrome for me. In the past whenever I've tried subtle tonal effects on portraits I've always come back after a few days and reverted to monochrome. I just find it easier to live with.

Thanks, Colin.

Yeah, I've done the same, and I mostly go with the monochrome too. But I reckon this one has something extra... maybe?
 
I’m more drawn to the tinted version but I think that’s because the highlights are more tamed on the forehead. try bringing those down a bit on the bw version?

Thanks, Scott.

How's this?



Raised shadows - dropped highlights

That. The revised This is better but I still prefer That. It just works with the age of the gentleman and adds a warmth and feeling for me.

I think That might be harder to print though.

Beautiful portrait by the way.
