Works well in Mono Alan, excellent composition and tones

Very well composed and well detailed too.
Fantastic image..quite apt as I;ve just finished the biography : Black Elk Speaks..a must read should you have any interest in Native American culture.
Like the fact that you have converted this to mono.

I am in complete agreement with the previous comments. Why? Because the photographer has captured at once the intense concentration of the musician and the intense look of the background photo's subject. Decentering was a good idea because the eye first falls on the huge head (the composition being rather classical, it conveys another profound meaning regarding proverbial Indian culture), then it falls on the musician. Sharpened as it is, it becomes the main subject and links very nicely with the idea of the whole. I think shooting RAW brings out the excellence of a shot of this nature. At any rate, this pack a punch. Bravo.
