This is an intriguing shot. The face expression and the pose of the man are interesting. Apparently, he wants to do a perfect job and is concentrating on his music. Your photo is well focused and exposed and has good depth. The monochromatic emphasizes the expression of the musician profoundly. The candid portrait is well composed and framed. The composition is balanced.

like the country tune.."im picking and im a grinning!" so where is smiley? lol. nice capture. the clarity is great. the angle of the shot of this actor in costume with guitar is great. the capture of the light is great. the image is balanced and eye appealing to the viewer. creative approach and great job overall.

A very nice shot. His attire is great and I really like that tent stake with its tangle of ropes. A well composed shot that looks great in black and white. Best of luck in the contest.

I just love festivals.. but I've not been to one for the civil war yet... what a fantastic place to take photos.

I do fine this a bit out of focus in crucial areas such as his head guitar.

But what a great place to be!

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine and classical composition offers us an enjoyable view of that musical soldier. Was his playing good? Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!

Comment from Glena Jessee-King


Wonderful composition, especially of being so close to the subject. So realistic, and in black and white or sepia. The background is appropriate too as it does not take away from the main subject.

    thanks Glena for the good comments,so why 4.5 puzzled as 4.5 means it needs improving

    Sorry. I wasn't sure. I felt the capture of the subject did not need improvement, but with the composition, I would have preferred that the objects in front be removed. I'm learning more about the stars' meanings. I'll go back and view briefly again. Good work.
