Why so tight? He's obviously not a small guy, and this crop/composition makes him look like he's bursting out of the frame...

Yes, yes, yes! That was the idea behind this approach. Dave's a rocker and is large and in charge. The low angle, the tight crop are meant to convey an imposing presence. Here's another with even more grit. I probably wouldn't want to take this approach with someone like Taylor Swift. lol. Thanks for the feedback!

Gotcha! :thumbup: In that case, well done! I might dial the highlights in the face in #2 back a hair, they seem just little hot, but that shot works VERY well for your purpose!

2nd one worked better overall I think, but nice in general.

btw, I know this is horrible but he really reminds me of this dude from Fraggle Rock...

Forgive me... I see cartoon and kids show characters everywhere I look. It's some sort of repressed childhood issue or something.

I like #2 better too.

Thank you for giving these a close look. That helps me a bunch. I'm now seeing a couple of nits I need to address too.
