Don't you just love theater and circus? They do it all for you: lighting, strong facial and often bodily expressions, colors, etc. Very compelling shot.
Awesome shot. At first, I thought perhaps you needed more light on the right, but after looking at it, I think the darkness contrasting with the light really adds to the effect. 10
Wonderexpression and lighting. Could have used so more room at the top to get the hair. But what happened to the image - I see a funky pattern in the black and in the face. I'm really taken with the basic image, but the technical problems will keep it out of the top group. Still a 7.
I wish the black background didn't show so much noise. You've got a great shot here but the background distracts. Still, it's well cropped, well lit, and does give me a sense of melancholy.
It's certainly unique. I don't personally like the dead center placement of his head. Perhaps moving him more to the right in the frame and leaving a bit more negative space on the left would improve the shot. Overall does a pretty decent job of conveying emotion. Using the eyes more might help as well. Good luck. 5
