I used curves on the color picture to desaturate the colors a little : move the black side of the curves to the right and the white side down to get the result you want.
Then desaturate / Mono mixer to get the B&W result. And use the curves to optimise (move the white side to the left).
Name the layer BW and make a selection from the man
Copy the selection to a new layer (name layer 'man')
Make a new transparent layer
On the new layer fill the selection with white (name this layer 'white')
Put the new layer under layer 'man'
Put the layer 'BW' under layer 'white'
Filters / Blur / Gaussian Blur (use the sliders to get good result)
Use the layer mode opacity to get the good result
I've made a quick selection and that's my result :
