I do not find it is a good subject for a silhouette because it is not readable without any details: I know he is a thinker from the title, but I cannot see it.

Sorry to give a low rating, but the silhouette of the thinker blended so much into the background he is hard to distinguish.

I like the idea, i think a slightly different angle so you could see more of the hand on the chin would've made this work a little better, just my 2 cents :)

That's a strrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeetttttttccccccchhhhhhhh.
The classic thinker pose might have been more believable.
Not sure how comfortable your model would have been with sitting around naked outside though...

What's that glare on his face? It's REAL distracting.

IMO... I think because this is so close up to the subject, it leaves you wanting to see more and almost feeling frustrated that it is dark...

It's very hard to see details (like the hand in front of the face) with silhouettes -- results in an indistinct shadow where the viewer can't really see what's going on. The title helps a bit with this, but maybe shooting more in profile would have worked better for you?

The composition makes me want to see the subjects face, but its the only thing silhouetted.

Since many peoples are complaining about not knowing why they have a low score I decided to comment on every pictures that I scored below 5.

I gave this picture a 4 mainly because we can't really identify the thinker it's more like an under expose picture to me than anything else.

rather than being a silhouette, this is a poorly exposed photo...sorry :-(

nice idea but it would have worked better if the model had been positioned side on.

Maybe a different angle could make this better?
