This is a street photo, taken in Amsterdam, on June 2nd 2015, during a short business trip there.
The man posing is a street artist, generous enough to allow me take to the shot.
The shot was made close to "Madame Tussauds". The original subject of the photo has been kept intact, using slight manipulation of the midtones, shadows and highlights, while the background and exterior have been manipulated with post-effects, for selective de-colorization and bluring.
The blurring effect has been intentionally added to apply in the "front" and not in the entire background, in an effort to give that "aura" affect coming out of the figure, resembling an RPG game character.
