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. |
