The Soldier

This uses the blue channel only to get the dark gritty appearance.

This was at a 1940s recreation at Bury in Lancashire.

I'm always playing with Photoshop! In this case, PS7 was used and as a first step when doing black and white it's always useful to see if the Red, Green or Blue channel is close as it is. In this case it was, so after ditching the red and green it only remained to tweak the Levels to get the desired result and then sharpen.
No, not 1944.....

I like the general composition and what you have done with Photoshop, but to me the overall effect is too 'clean'. Perhaps it is the guys uniform or the expression on his face.
