For some reason, it looks like the piper was leaning against something, cut out, and pasted where he is. Definitely looks weird.. If whoever did that were decent at photoshop, they would have at least tried adding a bit of a shadow to the left. The lighting on the piper and the background are from totally different directions.

I think it's just taken from a low angle. Don't know why, because it makes it look a bit odd!

My 'Rule of Thumb' when dealing with traders on the internet is simple - if they don't give an address, I don't deal with them. They might be the best retailer in the world with the best products, but if they aren't upfront with basic information, then it is no-sale.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I have been in contact with Steve, the owner of Cornerstone Kilts, and as soon as we work out some details I'm sure he will respond here.

Until then would everyone please hold your comments and criticism. Until we have had a chance to hear from the owner we are just guessing and making suppositions.

Let's give the man an opportunity to respond to your questions and comments.

I'm pretty sure O'Callaghan is right. It's the low angle and slight off-vertical nature of the shot that makes the piper look off balance. As to the shadow, I believe that he's well lit from the front, you can see a shadow extending back from the legs.

Given the low angle, we REALLY should be seeing a lot more knee. His kilt must be riding very low indeed.

I did kinda miss the shadow extending back from him, but I was also looking at the shadow behind the light where his bass drone is pointing. If you look, it's to the left of the light, indicating strong lighting from the right side....
