Very nice work. The original was not very well composed, with a lot of "empty" space on the left and top. I wonder how re-cropping it to eliminated some of that (and also bringing the right margin in closer to the left hand) would look ?
 
This is a great foto, made me want to look him up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Warren_Keifer

Quite a guy, but in the pic it looks like he is missing a leg, and there is nothing about that in the bio....
We sure we got the right guy?
No missing leg, just the right leg crossed over the left (the image is reversed, so it looks like left leg over right).
Really great job, Mike.
