By popular demand - here is a cropped version of yesterday's post. I am always concerned that I might be cropping away to much of the "environment" from an "environmental photo" when I do this. What do you think?
Nice portrait. Good lighting and color combination. I do wonder what the two instruments in the background add to the overall portrait. Without them, you have a much stronger diagonal line with the cloth in the background and the musician's shoulder and arm.
Nice gritty exposure here. This guy was a popular subject for all of us, including last year. It was hard to control the background considering the number of people attending these shows. A square crop, or close to it, might be in order here.
I work in the industrial distribution sector as a salesman for a master distributor of valves and fittings in Houston, TX. I am a member of the Bay Area Photo Club which meets at the Art Alliance Center at Clear Lake in Clear Lake Texas on Tuesday nights. I shoot with an Olympus E-3 and my favorite lens in my Zuiko 12-60.
