Usually I don't do compositions like this, but it was an idea that popped into my head and I decided to give it a whirl.

Im a huge fan of composite number one! Number two just doesnt get me quite as excited. The lighting and the background really flow well together, which is something I COMPLETELY failed at the very few times I attempted a composite.

Thank you! I was bored and thought this would make a good comp.

I usually don't like them because you can usually tell their photoshopped and never look right. However, I agree with you and think this fits extremely well.

Heres the closer one, I agree with the shadow being too strong, but wanted to share anyways.

It may be photo bucket? I didn't use flickr for this one.

Then again, I may have missed the focus, thats a possibility too. Let me look at the original.

Edit...

The face is a tad soft and looks like the hat is the most in focus. But the original looks a lot better than the uploaded version.
