Let me start by saying that this model needs some more sunny days to get some color on his bod.
Now lets get beyond that. Going from your pic details it looks as though you have succeeded in reachng your goal. I remember first opening this during the challenge and having a good chuckle. Everything seems out of place - snow and shorts, black socks and sneakers, a warm afternoon setup with a cold and desolate feel from the brown grass and rock wall. THese arent complaints - they help make this pic an odd treat that I found enjoyable.
Technically - good colors (or lack of). If it was brighter or more colorful I think the irony would have been lost. The sharpness and detail is good and the lighting works well IMO. His skin seems slightly blown out but I think that just might be his skin tone and not a lighting issue. Overall I think that the general composition is lacking for the DPC community - but hey what do I know.
Again - if your goal was to have fun I think you succeeded. An odd setup but fun in its own special way.
I like the surrealism and lighting but suspect that others will not. It falls squarely into the anti-photo snapshot catagory that is hot in the art world. Works for me.
Love the way you have brought the wall out. The colour of his shirt and the drink contrast well with the grey/black wall. Good balance of composition. Well done.
I'm glad that I'm not where you live - still snow/ice on the ground? The yellow drink add's interesting color to a fairly monochrmatic shoot. Lighting and color are good. The only thing that I would change are the furniture and pose against the wall, but that is just my thought. Good luck -7-
