Is this a good angle?

I was wondering if this angle is flattering or distracting. I also was wondering about the crop. Maybe more of his hair? Also, does the vingette work here? Thank you for your comments.

I love the angle (have a few photos of my own from that angle...) and love the picture.
don't change anything.

Composition and angle are just fine. I do a lot of it myself.

The one comment I do have is that the vignetting is waaay too strong for me. I love using vignetting, but I think subtlety is the key.. When the vignette (or any PP for that matter) becomes and actual element of the image instead of a subtle enhancement, then I think it's gone too far.

Otherwise, it's great.

Thank you all for your comments.
BTW Al, this shot was taken BEFORE he got pinged in the head with the soccer ball!!! LOL

+1 on the vignette. Too heavy handed, assuming it was added as a layer, just bring it down and see what 30-40% opacity looks like.

the pose is a tricky one to pull off, but in this case you did it well. if they tilt their chin too high theyre essentially just awkwardly looking intot he camera, if they dont tilt it high enough, you get too much of the top of their head vs their face, so nice job.
