I think this is the best of the photos you posted. The black and white version is by far better than the colour version.
I feelt hat in this, you have used his tattoo (of the Lord's Prayer) as a feature of the image, and in doing so, have actually made this image about more than just a shot of some guy. Just by the composition of this, you have managed to make a statement about perhaps who he is, his beliefs etc.......as a result, the image does work. his hand placement, the slightly flexed bicep etc all helps to emphasise that tattoo as an important element of the photo.
As for the other photos while I am here.....
The photos with his head tilted do not have enough space above. To me they appear like he is tilting his head to fit in the image.........Some more headroom will avoid this impression.
In 0045_800, the light is too harsh from his right, which makes him look pale
I would be tempted to do Black and White, but leave his eyes blue.........his eyes could be used to make the image really stand out............
Just my 2c........ |
