While not a bad idea, this image could have benefited from some better execution and post-processing. First of all, the shadow at the bottom right corner strongly competes with your subject. As my eye wanders the frame, it is captured in attempting to figure out what that shadow is. Secondly, the tonal range is fairly flat. I'd like to see the shadows deeper and darker without losing much of the detail that is there. I'd also like to see the whites with a little more pop. As it is, there is far too much gray over the entire image. Last, I'd like to see a more straight-on capture of the shadow. The angle of the shadow adds a great deal of distortion to the figure that I know to be human. Again, nice idea, and with some more time spent in shooting, I think that this one had greater potential. As it is, I score it a 5. |
