I think that because he's wearing a New York hat, that it makes sense to put a city in the background for a subconscious message about his pride for his own hometown. Getting a bit conclusive, but lots of rappers are usually from New York. It's just a stereotype. There is a river near New York city...
Totally agree with you here... There's no point at all in creating graphics if you're just going to copy what everybody else does.
I see way too much of it lately, particularly with signatures. In fact, one of the main reasons I don't comment as much on signatures any more is because I find myself saying the exact same thing. People seem to be lacking original ideas & creativity... I do like this image though. It flows really well and the lighting & colours work great. I again agree with Infinity that there is too much shadow on the face, other than that it's really nice.
Good job.
