This wasn't shot for the challenge-almost a candid... in fact all I was doing was fooling around with lights when I saw this shot waiting to be taken...he isn't really posing, I saw him standing like that and yelled "hold that for a moment"...
It makes me think of a painting.
Weird thing is the background...the wall is black, but there is some strange little hole in the wall right near his belly button, and a speck behind his head that I couldn't even see on my Emac...reason enough to check shots on more than one monitor. So in an experimental way, I hope to see if I get comments regarding this...
Levels, curves, saturation, neat image, smart sharpen, added border.

The importance of line. And there is something about a red sweater, that exact red.
Makes me want to write a Robert Frost poem about the line and the red sweater. That is a splendid line all down the head and the front.
I see a lovely study in texture and light. Love how this really brings out the texture of his sweater. Not as "lifeless" as I see some paintings as being - definitely warmer and richer - at least to me.
I'm really pulled into this image, and it took a whopping 2 seconds. A bit of a double take, if you will. Great color, lighting, BG. I really like this.
