Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is a great image that has an immediate impact. In addition to simply fulfilling the challenge, the material over the face adds tension and drama, distorting the figure beneath so much so that we are left asking questions, always a good result with a photograph in my opinion. The cloth cuts interesting shapes with light and shadow that satisfy, which actually "soften" the figure to a degree, a nice contrast to the perplexing subject of this photo.
The convex shape of the subject swells gently into the dark negative space in an interesting way, and the highlighted left portion is an interesting offset to the darker, though similar shadows at right.
For me, there is slightly too much of the black negative space in the photograph. I might have preferred cropping a bit more of it out.
Overall, a terrific image, well executed. Congrats!
Hope this helps,
Louis |
