This image has caused me to stop and pay attention. That means it is in my 7-10 voting band. (Voted earlier)
Additionally, it is highly interesting/eclectic meaning it keeps me here long enough to offer a longer comment and a vote of 8 or more.
This is one of my 10s - I like it very much. Furthermore I think it enriches the DPC collective portfolio. Put simply, I wish we saw more stuff like this. Let me tell you why it pushes all the right buttons for me:
1. Great use of monochrome with perfect toning.
2. Really superb lighting (A single light?)
3. Great contrast handling; look how we can still see the sides of his legs despite the deep shadows.
4. Great 'poses' - I've seen a ton of model work and never come across this configuration before.
5. Great subjects demonstrating a great connection.
What a high impact portrait. Great stuff.
