I like it.
there is something odd in how blurred the background is even in the areas behind him that seem to be not so distant that i almost feel he is not part of the scene. Almost like he is standing in front of a painted background. However, even with this somewhat disconnect of the subject to the environment, I don't actually feel it in a negative way. . .just a curious way.
I really don't see anything that strikes me as needing attention or to be critiqued. My first impression upon viewing it was positive and i immediately felt it was good.
I had considered bringing up the stalks near the subject and wondered about removing the ones nearest him, but I actually feel they add and if anything, help bring a connection.
I do like how the subject stands out nicely and the bg in itself has a pleasing aspect to it.
Its good Dray, works for me.
Thanks for the feedback, Gary. I think this was shot somewhere from 1.2 - 1.6... I can't remember specifically which f-stop. But that would be the reason for the blurred bg and the disconnect, as you put it.
It was a test snap. Hoping to shoot this guy for real pretty soon.
I really like the tones of this one. I think it's much better than the close-up version you've had of him. I also like the mix of gritty tough looking background to smooth crisp toned subject, makes for a nice congtrast. i also really love the in focus branches that are close to us in the foreground. Also the scratchiness of the edges of the BG are nice and subtle. good stuff!
