A great pose, with wonderful detail on the "golden slipper". If this was only a small crop I'm guessing he was pretty close to you, in which case stopping down several stops might have helped; you had some ISO to play with.

Really dynamic frame, even though the walking was probably fairly slow, but this is where the low angle has really helped. I see where Bill is coming from but with the sharp eye, its ok for my taste

John:

Great POV, makes him look tall!

I like the background with smooth transition in tones, the raised foot and drops, head angle.

In a perfect world, a bit more DOF yes, but is effective as posted.

Cheers
