Love the way you've isolated him#1 and reflections on the ebonies #3. Well executed & sympathetic set.

Thanks. It's funny, on #3, I was thinking of photoshopping out those reflections. You like them, I'm glad I kept them.

Yes, they add a nice touch.

In a few years, that could be Billy Joel (The Piano Man). He's getting on in years.

I like the first one too for the reason already mentioned about using a large aperture to single him out against the background.

Ok, big confession time. I masked out the background in photoshop and applied a medium to low end gaussian blur for that effect. Jim liked that photo of him but didn't like the character appearing in the background so I applied some PP magic.
