I like the use of the bars as compositional element. The bar in foreground does not bother me at all. In fact I like how it pushes the subject back in the photo more. Nice.

Kory,
Welcome to this friendly little forum.
As a first post- this is a knockout shot!
As a photograph- this is a knockout shot!

(PS- I like it .)
I like your perspective in this shot, and his easy, nice smile is tops!
Question: Any exposure tips? He's got a very blonde head of hair which I've found can throw things off. I shoot some white-haired people, and man, they often get way blown out.
Kory - This is a great shot; I love the expression and the bars (could try cropping in in on the right, like the others said, but I like it as it is). Very impressive.
Thanks everyone, I do agree a crop getting rid if the vertical bars would help! I appreciate the welcome and look forward to seeing more of your work as well!
Beautiful capture. Great expression. Like the strong contrast.
I'm fine with the bar in front, although instinctively I first wonder about it not being there. Agree with a tad of a crop from the right.
