Very spniggleish i would have to say! It would have been interesting if you had just shot painting and Stefan w/o the rest of the studio. But then you would have lost some of the coolness of the studio perhaps.
Amusing that the scene (s)he is painting is so like those beach-rock images we see over and over again here :-) Interesting that one can't quite be sure of the sex of your subject.
Fit Challenge Criteria: 2/2 - I think this does a great job of showing us the essence of this person without showing the face. Nice work.
Contrast/Color: 2/2 - The photo is artificially lit, and you did a nice job at preventing harsh shadows because of the lighting.
Composition: 1/2 - The inclusion of many items in the art room seems useful, but it also makes the photo very busy. In addition, the angle seems too high and unnatural IMHO. I think it would look better at a lower angle.
Photo Quality: 2/2 - The picture is sharp, shadows maintain detail. Nice job.
My Subjective Affinity: 1/2
