Batman

I'm interested to get some C&C on this. Shoot me straight. I'd love to redo this one, but with some improvements.

For starters, I'd crop off the bottom quarter.

So make it Batman 2/3 of the frame?

batman should be the majority of the frame.... he is the only interesting thing in the shot. The bottom quarter of this shot is dead space.

I don't mind that dark dead space because it has some detail in it and it does not distract my eyes at all. Since the image is kinda small its hard to really get a good look at it. To me it looks like either a low res version or its noisy and grain has he11. That would be my beef with this image is the clarity.

Can you post a bigger, higher res version?

The light is too strong. Maybe light him but not the shades.

Vipgraphx...how's this? It's noisy on purpose.

Mishele - I'm not sure how to light him, without lighting the blinds, other than using essentially a 4 foot long PVC pipe as a snoot. Suggestions?

after looking at a bit bigger I will agree that a tighter crop would do it justice.

Still a cool picture.

Whats the reason for the grain?

Two reasons:

First, I didn't have PS at the time to do different layers for effects and secondly I was trying to give it an old school feel.

I'd get rid of the octagon sticker in the top left corner, and fix the pull string so it's straight (on the right side). Those two things distracted me...

We have a really high standard for Batman now due to the recent movies. Your Batman suit isn't perfect so I'd be hesitant to show so much of it or retouch it mercilessly. Even in the movies they avoided showing Batman during the day, because, he looks goofy because part of his costume is the darkness. I know your shot is at night but I might even swath him in more shadow and show him in a different way. I like where you've started but I think you should push the location a little further. More industrial or more mental hospital looking?
