Dylan is my wife’s nephew who is staying with us during the school break. When this challenge came up was not inspired at first, but started playing the songs over a few days’s and decided that if Dylan was the model, we could come up with a photo.
Created using the song Title,
Photo based on the words from the song.
Pictures FROZEN in time
are becoming CLEARER
stuck in the SHADOW of my mistakes
I'm HALF the man I thought I would be
But you can have what's left of me
If you don’t know the song, you won’t understand the photo,
And that would be a shame.
Post Challenge, for those that commented on the lighting and voted in the negative, read the words to the song this may help.
Toned in raw MG 0153 CR2
Removed dust spots & minor distractions
Some skin healing
Sharpen
Removed noise

I don't know the song which probably makes it harder to see what you were after until I read the description. That said, after reading your description, or more importantly the lyrics, you definitely achieved what you set out to do.
This website is teaching me about "cropping" options, ideas that I'd never have tried before. With this image, I could see a crop just above his brow, as is, with the sky the at the top it's like the head is forced in the shot.
