Photo's purpose: To be featured on the back, color page of my schools newspaper. The article is about an extremely talented basketball player and the sports editor didn't want a typical action shot.
Light setup: Two Sunpak 555's into umbreallas to the side and slightly behind the player. One vivitar 285 in front with a tee shirt draped over for diffusion. I probably should have turned down the flash on his left, our right, down about a stop. Oh well.
Editing was fairly simple, removed a color cast, croped, curves, sharpen.

This is a very different prospective. I can't tell if I like it or if it is distracting and causing a headache to come about. I think I like it though, it just looks a bit out of proportion.
