Is this one of those silver covered guys that act like a statue in crowds for money? Cowboy hat but other than that not very cowboy like. The leaves above are distracting but they help fill in the frame and give more environment orientation. Nice pose.
This cowboy has a lot of character. Personally, I'm not really liking the high-key type approach taken here. Would prefer to let him standout in a rustic, full color environment I think. Anyway...good luck in the challenge.
