I agree with posthumous. To add the crop works really well here. What might be kinda cool is to have more of the image be revealed in thinner slices to the right sorta like a triptych.

Comment by posthumous:
wonderful form, color and yes... lines. and at the same time, a revealing (and intriguingly hiding) portrait!

My eye is caught first by the color, then brought to the lines of fabric.
I like the dark shadow at the bottom and how the color softly emerges.

Very nice portrait and I love the dramatic angle you have taken the picture from. As a challenge for lines It doesn't quite do it for me. I see the jumper has the lines on it and by making it green you lead the eye to it, but still the face is the the key-point in this image and it would have worked better if the face would have had the lines. However, its a great shot!

Interesting - I just read over some of the comments and I have to disagree with quite a few. I like the light, and I like it blown. I like the motion of the hand caused by the slow shutter speed. Composition works very well, and I rather think the softness/lack of sharp focus lends itself nicely to this picture and its tone.

Originally posted by karmabreeze: Hi OJ- ...the camera appears to be slightly off center. If you look at the floor and ceiling lines, they're not symmetrical.

the slightly skewered angle plus the straight horizon was intentional and adds a bit of discord to a rather sterile environ, don't you think?;]

This is cool! You seem to be developing a 'style'. I like it. Nice contrast between the mouth and the paper. I like the post processing you've done. Congrats on the top 20 finish!
