Does anyone have an opinion on this image? too much proccessing? not a Dramatic enough Feel? Perfect the way it is? What do you think?

both...too much pp and not enough feel. To be overprocessed like that it is going to need some textures, more layers, and more text.

I agree that's its overdone. Not enough detail there for me to figure out what's going on. What is in his hand and why?

It depends completely on the intended use of the photo. Let me illustrate.

As backdrop for a movie poster about a violent and dark subject ... perfect. As an image for ad copy about depression, anxiety, and the latest wonder drug ... perfect. As modern art in an edgy collection ... perfect.

To advertise a Disney movie ... fatally flawed. As an image for ad copy for the newest and sweetest smelling laundry detergent ... fatally flawed. As an example of Dutch Realism ... fatally flawed.

What is your purpose and intended use? If I know this, I'll have more of a notion of how I feel about it.

On an abstract level, I like the contrast, the interplay between negative and positive space, even the color choices. For me, well done! But it ain't a photograph. It may have started life as one, but the processing takes it into the realm of abstract art.

As usual, just my opinion.

Nice overview, and the intent is violent/dark/depression/anxiety kinda thing. What the image is, what he is doing.... I will say later don't want to spoil it so quickly L()L
