>>6152000It's not bland.
I like the framing better than what I did although you're right, I was going for "claustrophobic" as I stated above but I did misspeak.
>It's also why the color and lighting seem better in the OP picture because that was the final product. What I meant to say is that the color and lighting is better in the **thumbnail**.
I'm a massive Instagram whore and I frame and color to make better thumbnails as opposed to the full picture because standing out on Instagram is all about making interesting thumbnails and with the compression that's what you're basically making, thumbnails. That's why I tend to use higher contrasts and sometimes saturation. Basically my pictures are the lifted trucks of toy photography; I exaggerate to compensate for a smaller size.
You're right about 300 being a filter smorgasbord which I think suits the color scheme I was going for in pic related better than it would with any other figure
