Walking in Davis Arboretum saw this gentlemen playing some beautiful music. One of

a very few portraits I've done so any help or critique would be much appreciated.

thanks.

I like your choice of subject and your crop, but I see at least two flaws in the image--(a) the man is underexposed and (b) you can clearly see a blue cast in the areas of the image not lit by the sun.

The easiest way to solve these problems would be to use flash when taking images of a dark subject against a bright background, but you can also partially fix them in post using Photoshop levels and saturation. I attached a quick example--hope this helps!

Thank you Ron. I didn't even notice the blue color cast on the tee shirt he is wearing.
