Hi Rian,

Yes.... It actually looks (or reminds me of) like an album cover - a band photo.
I saw your excellent work on flickr.. A couple of the shots are too angry for my taste but it seems like an angry world out there sometimes .
Keep up the great work.

Ron

Greetings Again,

Your work deserves a website of it's own. I couldn't find a website link here on you FM profile page. Look at photobiz.com for a quick inexpensive website solution.

Best Regards,

Ron

If you did add it to your portfolio it would be the weakest image. So I vote no.

I like all of you work, but this one doesn't do it for me.

Although I like it, it doesn't compare to your other work that you've posted in the past. You've posted such amazing work that you ended up setting the bar a bit high for yourself now.

What bothers me is that the eyes of the guys on the side aren't focused on the book, but rather just past it. This makes it look too artificial for me. Also, the image lacks something theme-wise... it would have worked for me if the book was a bible and the guys looked like muslims... or something like that... you know what I mean...

NO!!

Not sure why people are saying yes, to be honest. This is not up to your flickr work at all and does not go with your style. Personal vision counts a lot for a portfolio.

When in doubt, leave it out.

A portfolio is only as strong as the weakest picture.

Dude. If this wasn't that HDRish style that you love so much...it would be awesome. To me, this image needed to be clean and dark.

Content is definitely interesting. It's just a little bland compared to your other stuff, less pop. Try the above, ask again and I think you may have a winner.
