Will have to speak to the powers that be about advertising rates at this joint.
Guess I must have posted in the wrong category.

I think it Would have been better without the flash.
The hot spot on the helmet is distracting. Also the shadow across the LHS eye.

Perhaps have the subject in the shade and light by a white card in the sun.
(Yes I know this is a not tho be repeated shot.

Also perhaps, for this subject, a more straight on view. The additional symmetry would work IMO.

Thanks for the move into comment territory gstark.

Sorry to break the dimension rules, should have linked to a smaller size from the pbase link.

Your wisdom is appreciated Mr Darcy. Unfortunately, things move very quickly at events such as these, and the exposure settings were made by reflex.
I was concentrating on the Warriors' eye.

The little fill flash on the D200 provides a glint to the eyes that would have been lost if exposure was measured to eliminate the glare off the helmet.

Photography is often a juggle of compromises I guess.

I like it! I would just like to have seen more of his right eye. I didn't find myself too distracted by the hot spot on the helmet but I was drawn to his eye(s), which is why I would like to see both of them.
