Input needed

Some constructive advice on this image please.

Left hand is too big in relation to head. Shooting from farther back, you'd get more realistic proportions. Choice of lenses may also minimize the distortion of sizes of body parts at different distances from lens; others can advise you better than I about that.

I like the natural background and placement and pose of the subject. Foot cut off--some will deduct points for this.

I agree, wide angle lenses aren't the best choice for portrait. You could crop some of the sky off, & clone weedzilla at the right.

Great background!
Need to improve framing...Would have been better to get down to his level to capture his full body and would allow cutting off some of the sky....if anything is cropped/out of frame, it should be the barrel.

The above, plus rotate the weapon so we can see it better.

Thanks for the input.

I just remembered this one shot years ago on film. It even has a weedzilla in it! ;D
