Never Throw Away Outtakes

I was hired by a recording label in Nashville, TN to photograph a gospel group for their new album. The group consisted of three really nice guys and we shot together for two days. On the last day we were given access to a theater where they would be doing a Christmas concert. I had a shot planned with the three of them sitting in different locations in the theater. While setting up and testing lights the group's founder sat down and was watching me. The label passed over the image because the entire group wasn't in it, but I have always loved it.

Nice lighting and interesting perspective. I like the off-centered subject here...makes me "consider" the theater as a partial subject, not just the group leader.

The more orange seat just next to him is a little distracting. ??

Nice. This is a great example of disrupted patterns. The brighter chair does pull a bit of attention though.
Question: Is that bright patch of chairs at the back where you were going to place one of the members or was it just how the theater was lit?
