   Both clothing and perspective in this study are great — only one small oddness. I love the epic pose with mike towering over the viewer — you don’t often show him in loose pleated dress slacks. He seems to favor fairly tight fitting chinos. Muscular thighs from martial arts make pants-buying hard, perhaps? The aiming shot is also wonderful, the perspective from his hands (great foreshortening) down his arms seems spot on. I like the running shot, too. He looks pretty serious about his workout, though, where’d his zen calm go?
   My only concern is with the top-right study of mike slouching. It looks a little, from the angle of his collarbone and the folds in his jacket, like his left arm is dislocated. That angle is devilishly hard to get right, and maybe with shading I would get a better sense of the angle of his arm.
