No, I didnt put it on in Photoshop. I feel it needs a hoodie doing drugs slumped against the wall. But I could be wrong. Comments welcome.

This is a cracker! I like shots like this that show the gritty reality of modern life and culture. No, it's not pretty, but it's got plenty of depth and meaning.

The photograph is expertly toned. It could only really work as B+W/Toned image, and you've managed it perfectly

Thank you, Paul. I followed your technique. It needs the right basic image though. Couldn't do it with any shot. Although having said that, my mother-in-law might be improved!
