Workshop Note
Hello Phillip

On this I used the original photo you put up as a workshop.

It was a bit difficult to get a crop out of it as I'm not used to doing this kind of photo or dealing with it.

What I tried to do, though, was give it a more square format since I found that wider format to be distracting. I also included the chin but also part of the man's left arm. Just enough I think that a line can be created up center of the arm from the bottom right corner and to the man's face, on a different angle. And the same goes with his right side, more of the collar gives more of a connection between body and head.

At least that's what I was trying to go for, a greater connection between body and head and some lines to help direct the eye of the viewer to the eyes of the subject. Because there's a lot in those eyes.

I didn't do anything in the way of sharpening or color or contrast or levels to this as I did to the actual posted image. But those settings could easily apply to this version as well.

I hope you like these results

Paul
