I think it looks great, not to flashy and three shots is enough.

Like it a lot, I think, personally, I would have moved the first two pictures on the left over, more left.

I like the largest pic and just want that one to be alone, standing out just a bit more. Also, I would like to see his name stand out just a bit more.

Cool concept.

Ok, I moved the two photos left of center and highlighted his name a tad more.

I'm assuming you posed him for the extreme right image.

if you could shoot him again, replace it with a full elbow.

I suggest layering the head over the text, harder.

Agreed with the elbow, unless that is the idea you are looking for, frame that pic and you have yourself a winner. :)

Maybe a little blemish healer on the spot in the middle of his forehead......

It was funny how I got the shot on the left. He was in a group talking to the coach in a time out and I yelled out to him. He looked over and I took the photo. Trying to get the unposed look. I agree about the shoulder. I may try again. I did not want him to smile but wanted it to look natural.

Thanks for the comments.

IMO, if you have 2 of him natural and you want a bigger image of him looking out of the poster, it's ok to get it posed, I feel that the one of the right would be perfectly fine in the poster as a posed shot, gives a feeling of like, "Hey, look at me" or "that's me in playing the game in the other 2 images"

Yes the change is only very slight, but it makes for a better poster.

The lightning is just a high resolution photo of lightning with some masking used as a background.
