The background distracts from what could have been a nice moody shot

Really love the mood in this shot. I just wish the silhouette of his hands and the base of the recorder(?) wasn't lost in the background.

it's fantastic, lighting, shadow, and beautiful colors!

I really love this shot..and the silhouette is amazing and interesting.
The only change I'd make (in a perfect world) would be to remove that orange thing under his face.
But aces, all the same. Love the focus on him....wow.

i think you could submit this for the "bong" theme too

The black shadowed area as the focus with the myriad of colors in the background is exceptionally beautiful in this photograph. I especially like the contrasts of textures of the instrument (recorder), the curve of the bald head and the beard/moustache in the sillouette (excuse the spelling).
