 I can nit pick a lot about this shot. BUT, it looks really good on the album cover. :P Or at least one of the versions does. Not sure if it was this frame or not.

His name is Bryan McDowell, and if you are a bluegrass fan, you may have heard of him -- or you will. :)

The back of the bench is in crisp focus - but the guitar player is a tad out of focus. Love the composition and crop choice.

Good but that his hand is cropped off and he's facing outside the frame.

While I'm not a fan of the slightly idealised processing, the inspired composition stamps all over my petty bias and leaves it bleeding. Finally a guitar photograph at DPC that is worth a longer look. And this one is worth several, which is why I'm hanging in on my imaginary 2010 wall. Thank you.

I really like this but the tight crop to the right confuses me as it is out of character for this type of shot. I keep wanting to see the rest of the hand and other leg and maybe even the end of the guitar.

I like this composition. It gives it kind of an edgy look.

the shadow on the face doesn't do it any favours...5

IMHO, you should have left space to your right so that the person would be looking into the frame.
