You picked a strong impactful song title. Hard to pull off though. I get the silent part, but what is indicating a period of time? I asked this question about a bunch of images this week. One part would be represented but the other wouldn't.
I like the highlights in the eyes and the half and half lighting on the face and the converse lighting theme on the background wall. I don't like the wallpaper in this shot. I think a white BG might have made the subject stand out better. A few too many dark tones present. A white BG might have made the subject pop.
The last thing I might suggest is some sort of a facial expression. Being uncomfortably silent would suggest some pent up rage, so maybe and expression of wanting to break out? Just a thought.
Nice try. Tough image to attempt. If you have any comments or questions drop me a line. I would be happy to hear from you...
did you know she went to richard montgomery high school in rockville maryland. i hear they've been trying to get her to speak at graduation for years but no dice, she won't have anything to do with the place. one of the best moments of my high school career was going to a show and witnessing my english teacher getting told by the club bouncer that no, she wasn't cool enough to get back stage.
zoom right in on the area between his chin and just under his eyes. His eyes, do, however hold emotion.. .. either way I guess, but the extra area around him seems unecessary.
