I really should get a film scanner. It'll cost me everything that I have, but it would really improve the quality of my scans.

Anyways, I know what everyone is going to think about the first time that they see this one - what's with the arena of negative space. Well, I'm going to do something that I've always wanted to do - I'm not changing it, because I like it. I know it goes against all your rules and regulations on composition and whatnot, but too bad, not this time, it stays.

All other comments and suggestions, however, would be greatly appreciated and eagerly considered.

I was just cruising around your gallery, not quite sure how I landed here...one of those times where I hopped from one deviants page to another around the site until I finally landed here.

Anyway, as I scrolled through your gallery, this shot really stood out.

Personally, I like the negative space, but then, that would be come quite obvious if you ever get a chance to browse my gallery.

I like the lighting, and the way it sorta feels like you just caught him in a moment of quite thought, looking out a window, or something.

I love the position of his hand on his face, it just seems natural, not forced.

Awesome work, you entire gallery is great!

Yes, I can definately see from you work that you're a fan of negative space. Thank you very much for commenting.

I *love* negative space--lots of it. Can't get enough of it actually, and I love the use of it here, plus the pose. The only thing I saw that I would have changed is the slight bit of fog or light leakage (or whatever) at the bottom of the image--would probably be easy to edit it with a little judicious use of contrast, cloning, or whatever your digital tool of choice is (don't know if you use those at all, but it could be changed that way easily if you wanted, I'd be happy to do it if you're interested and agree with this opinion).

That would most likely be because I used to edit with my screen really dark, so a lot of my images look kind ... crappy ... when viewed on a brighter, or an LCD/Laptop screen. I'll eventually get around to going back and editing them properly, but for now I'm leaving them as they are ... so it's not ACTUALLY part of the image, just an odd mistake.

Thanks for telling me about this one, though. It's appreciated.

on the contrary, I think the use of negative space makes this picture, there is a beautiful balance in the pose also

Thank you very much. I've always been a fan of extreme negative space - it almost becomes activated in it's own way.

Great shot! I think the space complimented the model beautifully. He's hot too :giggle:
