About the young man, this photograph makes me feel like he was simply asked to remove his shirt and stand still for a few moments while being photographed. The photograph has barely any impact on me. The subject is engaged in nothing; his expression is blank; the background is studio-esque and boring; his posture is impatient. If this was a fashion shot for perhaps the belt, then I'm not compelled to go out and buy the belt.(posted 8398 days ago)Digital: If this is a photograph to test film, nothing can be judged from viewing only this marginal quality scan. I'm not convinced that optics or film can be properly judged from a jpeg, anyway, unless there is something particularly extraordinary about one or both. From the artifacts, particularly on his arms, I believe the photograph is sharp, it's just the scan makes it look unsharp.
Composition: Pretty good!
Technically, I think the contrast is ever so slightly high to portray a person with so much skin showing.
Overall: The photograph almost completely fails for me. I'm not left wondering or asking or hanging or amazed or interested.
Respectfully submitted, however.
