You have a great eye for making small detail stand out in a large picture. The way you can see every muscle, tendon, and vein under stress in his hands and arms makes your mind wonder what he is making, what his story is, where he's from, ect. The darkness of his body makes your mind ask questions, and the brightness from behind him makes you automatically like him. Beautiful photo. Truly.

Good balance. It borders on being a silhouette and yet the texture of his skin is highlighted. I like it.

Nice focus on the scruffy beard! Dreadlocks look cool backlit.
