 I wanted to enter in the color portrait challenge for the DPC-O, but I really couldn't come up with a good idea at first: Do I shoot with one of my musical instruments? Do I shoot it serious? Do I use white or dark background? Too many choices. Most of my initial shots were just plain bad, so I decided to go another way...humorous. In comes my son Charlie's tuba_charlie tuba...and it became the costume for a new super hero...TUBA MAN!

A tighter crop would make this truly delightful!

thanks for taking the time to give us something "different" to look at while voting.... that fact just added an additional point to your score!

Would have cropped a tiny bit more on the left...

Interesting portrait and certainly not anything I've seen before. Great sharpness thoughout. The reflections in the metal are a little bright but of course being metal....tough material to shoot I guess.
