A Good Friend | Thoughts please

[Sime]

Interested to hear what you have to say dear DPS friends.

[alenz]

nice....but I am curious about the position of the person
black space on both sides...please explain is there any significance?


Thanks

[Sime]

no, no significance... I just liked it that way... [sucks air in through teeth!... owww...a rule breaker]

[TW1NS]

torn here...kinda looks Phantom of the Opera-ish...
maybe just a hint of the other eye wouldnt make me think that...

[PerJr]

It looks like he's thinking "Oh no...it's Sime and his cam again..."

naah, kidding - I like the picture..focus is very nice and the black/white gives a nice touch to it.

[Sime]

come on folks - no pulling punches... [PerJr..he TOTaLLY was thinking that!] [TW1NS - lt me tell you, he tries to sing like the phantom!] ....what have I done wrong, what could I do differently, like the lightroom work or not?.. get stuck in...

Rules were meant to be broken. I know nothing of technically correct photography so I can't comment on "rules" broken. From an artistic eye, I would like to see a little bit more of the face. I spent too much time trying to figure out the angle I was looking at to appreciate all of the picture. IMO.

If i had to change something, maybe i would make the "space" between the two fingers bigger so more of the eye were showing...or getting a bit more light.

besides that i dont really have anything i would change if it was my picture.

I'd have cropped in to get rid of the empty space on the left and given it a slight sepia tint.
