Great shot but I guess you've heard from a few other it doesn't fulfil the traditional business persona. The T-Shirt may not be well received as well. ;-) Other than that, its great!

I like the perspective. I think this would make a great entry for a different challenge. But "business person stock photo?" It doesn't work for that for me.

nice shot, drummer boy alright

Isn't that the jagermeister 'Deer'? I guess music is a 'Business'?

not my idea of a business person...(and I realize "he" could be a business person) but I would not purchase a stock photo with this...

Not a traditional "business person" shot, but I can see your idea. Not every business person wears a suit. Not sure if this would sell as a stock shot for the subject though.

Um, interesting business.

Great shot.... but.... where's the Business person?

Difficult to see how this relates to business. What are the chances that someone looking for business stock photos will end up buying this one?

But the photo itself is very good. Cannot fault that.

To me the lens makes his head look big. Looks like his neck is 1 foot long and puts his head close to the camera.

Nice sat, crop, POV. Cool dramatic lighting. I like the understated border, but I don't see this as a business stock photo.

I like the composition and the tone of the colors. And Zildjian A Customs rule! Not sure how "stock photo business person" this is though.

Maybe you're trying to "stick it to the man?" But nothing in this photo strikes me as the business person.

Doesn't relate very well to challenge but nice shot
