I'm kinda liking this shot, but not sure about the themes. :scratch

Thus far it's pretty much SOOC.
What do you think?

    I like it and I think it fits the theme as well as anything short of a setup shot is going to.

    Are those stadium lights you are hiding behind his head? It looks too big to be the sun. The only thing that bothers me about this shot is the flare around his face. I'd really like more detail there but I am not at all sure how I would have framed the shot to do better given the size of the light.

    Yes, it was not a setup shot, and I had merely seconds to take it. ne_nau.gif Very foggy night, season finale band competition, minutes before the show. For some reason I took only a single shot, even though I usually take multiples.. :bash

    I think its a high quality shot and in theme for this round.

    Even with the flare around the head bleeding out a wee bit I don't find
    it hurting the photo but rather helping it. thumb.gif Eye of the beholder thing. :D

    OK, thank you everybody for your encouragement, I think I'll run with this for now - untill the challenge ends or I find something better :-)

    Here's the submitted version:

    And I guess I inadvertedly joined the SOOC movement that seems to be hip this time around rolleyes1.gif Well, almost: I shot RAW, but PS was really minor on this thing.

    I like it, and think it does fit the theme.

    As I mentioned there is pretty much no PP, the fog did almost everything for me! mwink.gif
