    Question The Mustache...

    I saw this guy at the same rally, and I had to photograph him.
    I did this one as he was playing a drum.
    What do you think of this one?
    Thanks!

    Brian, shouldn't the point of focus be his eyes here? It looks like you got the right shoulder, and his face is just a little soft. As far as cutting of the top of his head, I'd like to see a little more, but that's just my opinion.

    I have to agree that it would of been a better photo it the head was whole.... I do like the facial expression.

    Is that Johnny Depp? LOL. I agree it's almost like you shot in portrait mode and the DOF was to narrow.

    Brian,
    I like the expression on the subject and the angle you took the shot from, with his head turned to you. I also feel there is too much body/arm and not enough head. I don't have a problem with the head being cut off at the top, I just don't feel the proportion here between the head and body is effective. Seeing more of his head and possibly some of the drum might have worked better. I agree with the comments about focus not being on the eyes. I like the photo overall, but can see it has it's faults.
    please do not edit and repost my photos
