My son Rance. He is an up and coming rock star! He plays guitar in a really great metal band. Not much to say about the shot. Basic tweaking. Taken in my living room using a halogen floor lamp and a flashlight.

thanx for checking out my pic. :-)

I really like the idea here - he certainly has the "air" needed for rock stardom! I think the strongest aspects of this shot are the artist and the backlighting. I think the weakest aspects of this shot is the overall lighting. IMHO, you needed some additional frontal/side lighting to provide some depth to the image. The hair is great - although there are some blown highlights there that I think with additional lighting would be minimized. I'm certainly no lighting expert (by any means), so would defer to some others on this site for advice on how to fix it, but I do think I can recognize the areas that could use some improvement. Again, I think this is a great idea and a strong subject; it just needs a little more umph.

This definitely meets the challenge, but the lighting is too harsh. Especially since it is just shining in

Interesting idea. Looks tough to make it work well. Not bad, but not overwhelmed.
