Here in this picture we see a shirtless man (who I believe is the photographer himself) looking to his right but the top half of his face is blurred.
One of the most striking feaures in this image is the shadows that highlight the contours of his body, particularly the clavicle. Here, we see the depth and the < shape perfectly. I just keep looking at the lowered space on the inside of the triangle and this image almost becomes 3 dimentional. I really like the spacing in this image, the wall paper in the backgrounds adds a nice touch.
Lastly, I'm really digging the blurred face--it conveys an ambiguous quality to the image.
The only weakness I can see in this image would probably be the under-contrast. <--I do admit, this is a little biased of me because as a photographer when I'm printing my photos I am usually not satisfied with my prints until I see the full range of black and white within the image. But again, that's just me.
I think if there was black in this photo, as opposed to dark dark gray, that it would add more of a mysterious and dismal tone to this photo. But then again, who knows what effect the photographer was going for?
