I like how you've emphasized the subject by darkening the background slightly, I like the lighting on the subject - it's dramatic - and I like the composition.In fact, I like everything about this photo. This is a very good photo. #7089995

on 1/6/2009 7:45:48 AM The lighting here is so unusual and perfect that it appears he is in a studio with a field as a backdrop, having real props in the forefront. It's very professional looking and I like it! Great job Jeffrey! -Laura :)
