I like it better than the of Eugene Smith which to me had gotten over
manipulated feeling and corny and has not aged well. Dated.

Your image though is  a crude black and white conversion.
It needs to be converted more carefully with more tones left in. the various
color sliders do that.
And I'd never show people the color shot.
And this version is over sharpened.
