Just had a quick play using Silver Efex Pro (High Structure) then a mask to bring some selective colour back in and finally Vignetted the corners to darken it down.

Awww he/she looks very comfortable!! I think i like the original better. I like the background and colour of the bench. To me it adds to the shot. It gives it a sense of depth and all the colours work really well together
