I have no idea why I'm titling this as I am, but so be it. Maybe it's a tribute to a great composer, not sure.
Anyway, this was done in RAW, converted with RawShooterEssential, and cropped and tweaked with GIMP. Minor cloning was done, and contrast was boosted with a radical USM setting. Can you tell I like free software????
How will this score? I'm guessing 5.2, hoping for 5.5. Hopefully the punch of the diagonals will help, but there's limited interest. I've got some other ideas for the challenge that I may use instead, but here we go. I've got almost a week to change my mind...
Great composition here. I didn't really notice the glare near the top until I went back and saw the thumbnail for this one, it seems more apparent there? Just something to keep in mind since it seems like people bump scores from the thumbnail pages sometimes. Nicely done! :)
Nice light and details! I'd have given it even a higher score with the frame would have been full instead of the tiny triangle in the bottom right corner!! Well done none the less!!
In such a very clean graphic composition (and it's nice that you've understood the comkpositional demands of the crop), a bit of cleaning of your subject would go a long way - the fingermarks and dust are a shame, and easily dealt with in advanced editing. Lacks the real fizz of good soft lighting to give the shot impact, I think.
