Hey all. I went to a local community college with a friend to try shooting some longboarding. This was towards the end of the night and I thought the gazebo would be great for a portrait. I am wondering how this looks to you and what could be done to improve it? Generally, I really like it but I am sure there are some people who can really improve on this in PP and I would love to get some advice in that area.

Also...does the lighting work for you?

Thanks for looking!!

The sharp focus on the feet and the blurry face are the biggest issue to me. That his face is blown or nearly blown out on one side and hard shadow on the other is troublesome, but its an attempt at high contrast so I get what you were trying to do.
