Very nicely lit! But, however well the subject is lit, my eye is drawn to the barn. I don't want to see the barn! I want to see the musician! Anyways, just my 2 cents.
Nice composition Dav but there is something too harsh about the lighting, I dont think its the light on the lad but the large flat surface of the guitar.
I think it would be improved with a levels tweak just on the guitar itself to tone it down a touch, also reducing the saturation slightly.
Love the background and the level of ambient light.
My only offer for improvement is a tighter crop taking off a bit form the right and top. Again, this is just in line with my own style, this being a great image and well lit (again).
I don't agree with the comments about the guitar and the barn dominating the shot, where maybe the crop would place a slightly better emphasis on your lad?
P.S. I'm not stalking your threads, I just really like good well executed strobist work. Need to do some myself!
Well thought out shot Dav, for me the lighting is maybe a little too "hard", especially on the face, just a bit softer, more subdued light may have improved, or then again maybe not ....... :shrug:
Still way beyond my present skills.
