Wow! Garth, this will be a beautiful portrait.

I agree with Mike as far as the drum composition. I prefer the simple background of the firs example but would consider some variation in value maybe temperature rather than value to suggest depth. The verticals in the second photo do work as well but do place the person in a particular setting. I prefer the first because it does not define the setting rather it allows for individual interpretation of a setting.

I like the pastel weary much and do think that it too deserves a frame as well.

Your clients will be well pleased and I am happy for you.

All the best to you and thank you for sharing this with us.
