Greetings from the Critique Club
There are things I like a lot about this ... The capture of the fur in the hood is great and fits the challenge well ... detail, focus, color, and contrast ... composition was well done ... and combined with the white background, it tricks me into believing it was shot in the wintery north. Montreal, say :)
I like the "thousand yard stare" in his eyes. That begins to tell a story. And finally, your model is a good looking guy.
But the presentation of your models face is both a little hot (over exposed) and flat (lacking defining shadow.) Perhaps a little bit of work with a Dodge and Burn layer would have helped both.
I actually think your pictured is a bit under appreciated by voters. I would have voted it higher than its average if I had voted on the challenge. Maybe it's suffering from "genre fatigue." We see quite a few photos of this same general subject and composition. While this is a good photo, voters tend to need better and better examples of a genre to score them equally highly.
I took a look at your portfolio. You have some terrific photos there. You've obviously got talent and a mastery of your camera. I hope you'll show us more of your work! |

Tones seem a little on the red side to me.
Other than that - looks pretty good. |
