Well you got really close hereto the subject. The lighting and everthing is good. The picture and is pretty professional in quality. It's difficult to see how it fits into the category though - The microphone begins to do it but I think it's a stretch.
goodness, he's looking old... to be honest, i think this is sitting on the borders as to meeting the challenge or not; i mean, it does, the mic stand and the guitar are clearly the elements of the frame, but i don't think the protrait is necessarily enhanced by the presence of these things. he also looks like a small bloke dwarfed by a microphone. nice as a rock pic though. 6.
I enjoy Bryan Adams and all, but this isn't really framing. Your subject should be far enough back from the framing elements that the blurriness of the foreground enhances the sharpness of the subject.
well, i laughed atleast- if we looked at it completely loosely i might let you slide with the fret board and microphone stand. i am assuming most won't even look at it long enough to give that to you. It's a pretty good photo though
