Might have been better as an all white shot- removing the orange mugs and things in the background. Also, there appears to be some strange sheet or bag in the background?
Actually this is one of the nose picking shots that I like. A shallower DOF might have made it better. As it is now the cups in the background are distracting. I like the lighting. 7
Just a tilt of the head would have got rid of the reflection in his glasses.
It's a fun picture cuz the guy seems like such a good sport and it has a sunny appeal. I'd rather see him with a more original bad habit.... doing a crossword or picking his teeth even. Who ever he is tell him I said Hi.
definitely a picker/pickee...me that is, i'd say he's not REALLY digging for gold...need to have your subject BE the booger :) maybe different perspective or finding the gold if you really want an emotional impact :)
I just knew someone would go for "nose picking"! Technically good, and great choice of model! I would have cropped a little more of the empty white off the top, and maybe closed in more on the sides. After all, this is an "in your face" shot, why not exaggerate it.
