[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
You knew he was the King of Rock and Roll. But did you know that Elvis was also a martial arts expert. He began studying Karate during his tour of duty in Germany as a soldier. When he returned to the States, he made the practice part of his life, eventually earning an 8th-degree black belt in the discipline.

If you'd like to know more about Elvis's life-long devotion to the martial arts, take a look Here.

(This really doesn't fit into a category. I guess there should be a "Landmark" category or something.)

Hi Hugh,
This is very interesting capture, and I like all the details here that you have included in this capture. The bulb there add a gerat perspective to this. Thanks for the notes.

Hugh,
I think it's cool that you included his face on the TV here.
I have been to Graceland and I think it's a perfect place to get to understand the life that Elvis led. My wife and I had a great time there. Thanks for rekindling some good memories...:)

Very nice shot. I didn't know that the King of Rock and Roll was a martial arts expert. He looked quite the opposite to me.

hello hugh!
very nice inside photo with great light.

God bless the King and his legendary vigor in all he performed.

Composition: 8/10 (Subject positioning, crop, pov)

Creativity: 8/10 (Originality, usage of imagination, thinking outside the box) I like the head (TV)/body (manequin) relation.

Rigor: 5/10 (Sharpness, Exposure, PP, Presentation,) Colors needs management

Exploitation of the light 5/10

My humble assessment.

Cheers!

Ben.
