Locke. A candid shot that I think turned out well.

    I agree...and the blow back ground doesn't really bother me too much though I think it could use a crop

    The blown out background bothered me at first, but I've gotten to like it.

    Thanks for the suggestion.

    It's not so much the background but the overall orange/yellow cast is overpowering and I agree, a crop will help.

    Well, the yellowish tint will stay since I actually made it more yellow when editing. It makes it warmer, IMO.

    I'm not going to tell you anything new, I guess. I think you're on to something here, but the yellow is too much. I would dial it down a tad. Doesn't have to go, just a little less.

    I'd also prefer some sort of crop, but to be honest, I have no idea how to crop it. I think there is too much 'white shirt' but cropping that, also means cropping his hand/arm and the glass, which would detract from the interestingness of this shot, I think ne_nau.gif
