Bradshaw portrait

Brian, I like it. You've done a very good job. The composition seems to hold up since the name at the bottom forms a triangle with the helmet... a composition that is stable. There is also the inverted triangle with the shoulder pads directed downward enclosing the numbers, a compositional element that I believe imparts a bit of mystery. It is a bit different seeing Bradshaw with such a look since he is a bit of a cut up and clowns around a lot. This gives me the idea that the team is losing again with him on the sidelines with that look on his face. I would imagine that the portrait would be accepted more if he was smiling. At least, it would not be bringing back bad memories of games lost. Good job.
