Inclusion of his instrument adds a lot of interest -- not that it is needed, the man by himself is awesome!

Very nice portrait, the smoke really adds to it,
i am sure lots of people pick on him because of his name :)
Like the DOF, sharpness and colors, Cheers,

great sunset here... is easy to be trivial with the sunrise and sunset, but you are able to compose a very nice photo, compliments.

I love the warm, rich tones of orange and yellows in this sunset shoot. What really sets this apart from just another sunset over the mountains is the compositional framing. You included the trees to act as a natural frame to add dimension and interest to your shot. Not to mention that you have some interesting rolling hillsides to frame the bottom portion of the composition. Lighting and silhouetting of the trees also adds a great amount of visual appeal. Lovely.

Awesome! Beautiful colors. I'm sure that was a tricky one to expose properly.
