Hey Kombi,
I know it's for Zig to answer your input here, just wanting to add that, even thought I agree with most your suggestions, like the shadows and matting space etc,
in the end this is not so much about one singular portrait as about the whole effect, isn't it? so what if it looks photoshopped?
I would choose your version to give to my grandmother to hang up and she would love it (well, Zig's granny for that matter),
but for an ad why not play a little. Tells people something about you too, doesn't it?
Anyway, there is a lot to play with here!

PS> Zig, another thing that just occured to me as I am looking at Kombi's free standing version is that the strap of the guitar is awkwardly cutting your throat.... gosh, maybe I am getting overly picky now.. ?
