The first one is very good. (Why did you cut him halfway? Curious.)
Thanks, Rajan.
It was a crowded pub, and possibly somebody was blocking the view, I do not remember. I also wanted a horizontal composition, so that I can include the light in the left corner, for balance and sense of the environment. It is not always necessary to show the whole thing... I feel that just the top of the guitar was enough to give an idea what the guy was doing there.
