Too bad about the folds in the backdrop under the model's knees. Too bad you didn't have a second light source coming in from the left to balance the luminosity on both sides of the body. Great skin tone and good white balance. Well done.

i like the lines of his body, despite the unfortunately shadow (it doesn't seem intentional to me). I also wish for symmetry with the white space on either side of his hand. I think if there was a fill light to the left to get ride of the shadow and also light the right side of his body (the left part of the picture) it would be a more effective shot. 8

This is a nicely composed photograph and I love the effects of the high contrast on the shadowed areas. Really nice job!

I stand by my statement: to me, there was too much going on. It struck me as visually confusing from the first, which turned me off to it. As it was, it was a well-taken shot otherwise, which offset my initial reaction somewhat.
