    First IŽll tell you what I like....the concept really works fro me, black with red is always an interesting combo, the light is great and makes the blacks stand out with soft highlights to avoid visual flatness.

    On the other side of the coin...what I think it might aid or dislike.
    The angle of the shot makes the subject look small, it should be more horizontal and not looking down. It also my look interesting going the opposite way...shooting from a lower angle viewing upward a bit.
    Even tho I like the subjects position I think the placing of the left arm and his head and eyes position suits better for a torso type portrait, for a full body shot like this I would look for a different stance. DontŽknow maybe rotating a bit the subject in the X axis to have some sort of body angle.
    The lack of "ground" really distracts me....he seems to be floating ( this increases also do to the angle from where the shot was taken)
    For my taste you have way to much area on the right side of the composition, which takes out importance on the main subject. The only thing I could think of that might work if you want to stick with the amount of space to the right, is if the subject was in front of a wall corner...where you see the two walls intersecting, each one with different amount of exposure (hope that was clear).

    Hi, Foga! Welcome.

    I read your blog. To make a concept in a client's head a reality and get a paycheck for doing it would be a happy experience for both! Good job. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
