I would have to agree with you about the hard light on the left. When I cropped this for my Portfolio I cropped it out on the right side. I liked it tighter on the 2 cowboys. I just posted the cropped image on my blog. http://jaypmorgan.tumblr.com/

This is really good to see the behind the scenes if this shoot. I would say that as much effort went into the BTS as the photography it self. The set up is amazing, Thanks for sharing.

Great shoots just don’t like the shadow of from the guys at the balcony. for me kind ruins the amazing photo.

Jeremy, I might agree with you but I have actually see shadows like that from harsh reflections in windows across the street. Just playing devils advocate ;)

Very impressive setup, crazy amount of production that went into this. I’m not keen on the hard light on the spectators in the background because of the unnatural shadows it creates. But that’s just me being an armchair photographer :P
