Chuck,

If that were my kid I'd re-shoot. Maybe something indoors with a spotlight shining directly down on him. Make it look like stage lighting maybe. More frontal as well. What kind of music does he play? If it is mellow this pose reads fine, but if it's rock it would read better to me if there were a little more body movement. For example, a straight on shot down to below his knees and the knees are bent or his head is at an angle like he was bouncing it... you know - like those rockers like to do.
