Hi from the Critique Club,
You asked for your shot to have an in depth comment from a member of the Critique Club.
This is one of those shots, that although it is excellent, will not score highly on DPC. I personally gave it an 8 when in voting. Here are the reasons why.
I think there needs to be a little more expression in your models eyes. Right now they are just black holes. A little dodging and burning in post processing would have helped here.
If you are going to go to this extreme with a man in make up , it needs to be totally perfect. The stubble n the upper lip throws this shot off as it is all different lengths. The hat is tilted, it may not seem like a big thing, but it throws the shot off adn makes it appear like your horizon is off, which will get you voted down as well.
the white shirt that is showing is off from the rest of the shot with the black, it either needs to be all black or an even white undershirt.
your horizon is also tilted with the shoulders, this could explain the hat as well .\
With a make up artist at hand, and the affect that you where going for, which was Clock Work Orange, you really need to make it work, and go almost overboard. Because as of right now, your colours are washed out. I presumes that you want the focus on the eyes and the smoke, then pop those eyes, pop that smoke, use dodge and burn.
Your sharpness and clarity is amazing,
Well done on this shot
