ok, now here's a version i worked on recently. i know there's a lot of contrast but for some strange reason, i kinda like it.

in some ways, i like the original color version too.

ya'all know i really dig b/w photography, but for some reason, i didn't care for it with this one. dunno why.

the other thing i wanted to ask you guys...My brother doesn't like how his bald spots show in the original, so i cloned in hair for him in both versions. do you have a preference which looks better? does it look realistic?

your honest feedback is so much appreciated! i'm just at a loss at where to go with this one.

thanks so much for all your help guys!!!! :)
