I certainly did not want to but that's the absolute height limit I had - the shadows at the top of the image are of the curtain rail. I didn't have enough space to create the scene as I wanted. I could have cropped more off the arm to avoid the avulsion, but I needed the photo to look as long as possible for the pose (I am a lot broader than Elvis Presley was).

I was trying to resemble this while dancing with a wooden chair:

Quite adorable. I love that eyebrow. The entire presence of the mouth would have improved this portrait, in my opinion.

Nice telescope for an amateur! I like the interaction he has with it. Wonderful pose.

I love the sharpness of the eye... but... it doesn't say "blue" to me.
