This is probably what his parents will like and if they are paying the bill, thats what is important. I like to have seniors bring a change of clothes. I think with the attitude (surmised from his expression) I would like to see him in a white or black T-shirt leaning against the tree with kind of a James Dean attitude. This age is very difficult and sometimes it is just better to go with the personality than trying to create something that isn't there. Always have a back-up for the parents, and this photograph is perfect for them.

By KBittancourt (2007-07-28 15:59:13 ): Very good execution. I like your use of BG and selective highlights. I imagine that you will ask your seniors if they would like to include an important part of their HS years; ie: letter jacket, football, etc, in the photo. I wonder if the POV can be lowered. Current photo is 'looking down' at your Senior. Just some random thoughts. Cheers, Ken
