    The Tube

    Taken at Pyestock National Gas Turbine Establishment, would really like to get rid of the flash in the bottom, but not sure how........C&C?

    Canon 1DmkIII, 24-105L, 17-40L, 50mm f/1.8

    I choose to live my life to a different tune of music., one which is not censored or wrapped so much with a blanket of over -regulation, Health & Safety gone mad, fear and blind compliance to anything you are told to do...........
    Downfallen, RIP

    Interesting and unique photo. Reminds me of DaVinci's man.

    You could crop out the flash. I think it would make the image stronger, anyway. This one would be better suited to an 8x10 vertical shot, IMHO.

    Thanks for sharing. I have a photo listed on the Critique board, as well, should you like to comment.

    I thought of Leornado too.
    And Gary's steampunk self-portrait.
    I wouldn't crop, but clone to remove the flash.

    If you get a chance to reshoot then I think it needs more rim light on his head & shoulders to separate him from that shadow.

    I tried to do the rim light subtly in PS, can I post it?
    My clone on the grid is pretty poor, but I think with patience it can be done much better.

    I wouldn't crop it either just because of the flash...if you chop the flash the feeet will also be out of the scene which I´m sure they are part of the whole concept here.
    Cloning as Paul said is the way to go.
    I would like to see this same shot but firing from a higher view point to make the head stand out and not merge with the upper shadow.

    Canon XSi
    Canon EF-S 17-85mm IS USM
    Canon EF-S 55-250mm IS

    You have to fix that tiny grid hole at the crotch.
