Back to comment: I realize you were going for an environmental type portrait here but the landscape orientation doesn't work very well for this subject. The shadows on his face also lower the protrait feel to this image. As an action shot/photo journallism type shot I love the motion you captured. Nice image, not the best subject for this challenge
Marching drum. Tympani don't march well. Nice catch on his face. Colors are very strong and balance his face well. I like the feeling of motion you've captured.
