    Thanks for all the kind words. I never even thought about it as a album cover. That is an amazing compliment. iloveyou.gif He does have some CD's that he sells so I may have him at least take a look at this image.

    Thanks again!

    Awesome shot! bowdown.gif

    Only thing I would change is, I wish I could see more of the guitar neck in the shot. But it's still phenomenal without it! (:uhoh hope I don't get yelled at, I'm the ONLY one who made a suggestion... Laughing.gifne_nau.gif )

    I love the color in this and the intensity of his expression. Awesome shot.

    Thanks. I wish I would have caught the neck too, but I attempting to get the light reflection off of the body of the guitar. I appreciate the thought. The only way I can learn is through some cc. I think I will head down to him this weekend and give him a 5x7 and talk to him a little. The more I look at this shot the more I like it. :D Been away from the computer for a bit.

    This is an amazing capture! More of the neck would have been nice, but I think the fact that you can see the tip of a couple of fingers and the capo makes up for it! Not to mention I love photo's of any type of musician :D Thanks a bunch for sharing!
