I think if you placed your model a bit to the right, this would be a great photo!! Right now he's a bit too much centred. But I love the colors & his expression! 8

The look is so intense and sad. The lighting and the backdrop are perfect.

Comment by Melethia:
The composition here is very nice - I like the squarish crop, the bud in front of the OOF blooming roses, and the smaller buds below. Not sure if you saw the spider webs and mites before you shot, but next time you can try hosing off the plant a little before you take the picture (I know, because I have the same problems with my roses.)

I really like this photo, including the web. The large red flower in the background is unfortunate. My eye is drawn to it.

This is really nice. The warm tones work well with the background. The one nitpik I have is that his arm seems oddly disconnected somehow. But still gets an 8 from me.

Quality work in this image, the coloring and lighting are especially appealing. The only portion a bit off is the transition from arm to hand, seems to sharpen too quickly. Love it though.

Great shot! all the technical details are spot. Though I must say I find the crop/pose a bit odd, with the right hand coming out from the bottom left side like that without seeing a connection to the rest of the body.
