I just want a honest critique of this illustrative photo. Please do

not hold nothing back

To start, I'd say that without scars and writting, I think this photo would be very good just by it's self. I think the rest just clutters the image and tries too hard.

That aside, the writting seems to follow the contour of the muscles and the scars do not. In fact, I still think it would work very well with the writting and no scars. Although I still prefer it with neither. The scars do not work for me. Some look fairly good but most do not. There is one on lower right hand that does not fade into the shadow or curve with the body. They are also indented. I think that would hold true for new wounds but old scars would be raised, in general.

this is a great & very expressive photo!

BRAVO!
