Advice please.




I went to a local Breton festival yesterday and managed to get a couple of photos of this very interesting man in traditional costume. I would like to paint him if i can but i have never really thought about composition and whether a photo is a good resource or not.

I have posted the originals and a couple of cropped versions, one of the problems I can see is his left arm and what to do with it. I am not used to altering an image to make a good composition, i usually just draw what i see in front of me!

Do you think they are usable? Any advice please.
