I was at the beach and was so excited when I saw this guy up on the wall playing his guitar. I went right up to him and said... hey can I take a picture of you? He was hesitant but i talked him into it :o)

The first thing I notice when I look at your image is that great blue sky. The second thing I notice is the dull, drab concrete wall. If I were taking this, the guy would be on the bottom left of the photo and I’d take it from a few steps to your left. This gives the guy a little angle so you get more of a side view of his face looking out, gives you a lot more of that great blue sky and makes it fit the rule of thirds. It makes the image more about the sky, and oh yeah there is a guy singing in the corner. Maybe? Straight on and centered usually is not going to be the best option. A touch of neat image to clean the noise in the sky would help too.
It’s still a good image as is, and looking at your other submissions I think you have a real good eye. I expect to see some real great stuff from you in the future!
For me, there is a bit too much of the wall. Such a great sky, had there been an even steeper angle from beneath the guitarist I would have scored it higher.
Nice vision for this challenge. I like the blue sky backdrop. The image would have been more powerful for me if the guitar case was not there. But I don't know if you had any control over this.
