Hello Omar

Welcome back to the forum, and thank you for sharing another image with us. I have to say straight away that I love it and I wouldn't change anything, except perhaps cropping the lower edge but I'm really not sure about that. The pose, the tones and editing really capture the lonely mood, so it's a very emotional image. Others may want to edit, but I'm not going to and I have a feeling that it will do very well. I hope so.

All the best, Elizabeth

Thank you so much for your words and time!

Omar.

Hello!

thanks  in advance for your time.

I'd like to recieve your comments on this particular image.

i tried to create a dark and lonely mood by the use of the light and posing of the subject. The editing is kinda raw but i think is appealing to the idea that i want to show.

 

Doyou think it has a chance to make it?

 

 

Thanks

 

Hello Omar Brest ,  Welcome back to the Forum.

I like your image and can feel the stress and emotions in the subject. But I do find the photo a little too dark and I found the top right corner distracting because of the uneven looking wall. 

So I did some minor changes to the photo. I stretched out (skewed) the top right to get rid of the uneveness. I cropped out the bottom of the image in an 8x10 format, I straightened it a little base of the baseboard behind the man. And then I added a section on the left (using Filled Section/Content Aware) in Photoshop Elements 21 because he looked too crammed in the space, which could be your intention. I then lifted the shadows a little so that we can see his back a little more and the waist of his pants.

These are just some ideas for you to consider.

P.S. I did not touched his hair but the top is too bright. You might want to burn it a little or correct the highlights on the RAW file.

Hope this helps.

Good luck.

Hello, Omar

Welcome to our forum and thank you for posting your image. Well, it is an eye catching image. The interesting thing about is the light and shadow partnership. Shadows always make lit up images interesting. However, the important thing is how and where the shadows appear and where the specific lit up part is.in your image there are some weak spots. One is the softness of the silhouette. I think the body is not well focused on. If it had looked sharper, I think the distribution of the shadows would not have mattered much. However, in this case I think the lit parts could have been better organized. Of the like starting from theneck like ad golly dang to the buttocks had been lit up as a line, I think the effect of the image would have been much different. So to sum up, I would say that the success of your image depends on how much it affects curators. I hope I could have been helpful. I wish you good light. Greetings, Cicek...
