an oldie but goodie. i'm really happy with the lighting and focus, but i hate the crop on the left. I couldn't figure out what to do with his left arm. I fear that to resolve it i'll have to reshoot completely cause i've tried like a million different crops on him.


May I present . . . T'Challa: King of Wakanda

I'd drop just a tad to the left of his spine. That way the entire left side will be statue ('cept around the head), then I'd burn in the top left so the head merges into blackness.

I think it's really cool that you weren't sure . . . . he's an action figure.

More along the lines of this? (It's quick and dirty)
I really like this idea, just now my eye goes to the bright spot between his arm and body, i'll play with it more in a bit

There you go ... sometimes it is better for the mind to create a picture out of what it doesn't see ... than what it does.
