1. Is this portrait an example of an unconventional portrait? What makes it an unconventional portrait? Is the focus appropriate for the subject of the photo? Does the contrast in the image engage the viewer? Is there a framing device used? Was Photoshop used appropriately to adjust the levels in the photograph?

2. What could be done to make this photo more unconventional? Do we get a sense of who this person is based on where they are photographed, props, etc? What is the photographer trying to say about the subject here? What could be done to make that more clear?
