Great colors as usual but his hands look a bit strange

Very intriguing image! I like it. My criticism, though, is that I think the might be better with the bottom 1/3 cropped out. The lower portion of the image isn't adding anything for me and the less intense colors of the bottom right seem to separate it from the rest of the image.

... and the bottom one is particulary weaker, bringing nothing to the photo - as it has been already stated. What I like is the upper half with the wet blaze on his face- looks so realistic and hars - like ... the truth. Sio aesthetics is good as usual with you but oryginality not so good. Regards, JK

Thank you for your comments. As to the bottom of the pictures , meaning and the existance I find asessenstial as the top, I do agree that the fingers of lest models hand are not importent but that is exactly the point. As you mentioned the bottom do not add anything ! There is no need to add anything it is only a metter of balance in the picture which brings other elements in. Somtimes othere elements - even rthe ones which are not bringing anuthing to the picture are there just to create the natural contrast, SHARP - BLURED , intens - calm , saturated - etc ---and far more. Iam not tring here to change your mind , its only to show why I see the point of secondary elements in the image when they may seem to be not doing anything.Still I can see your point and regardless my opinion and vision thank you for your input.Regards PK.

This is just beautiful -- I especially like the DOF used here. Well done.

Very unusual and interesting shot. I like it, but I don't know why.

Fantastic shot,Piotr.I just can say that these hands bring out this magnificent expression!

I actually think that the bottom hand has it's place in the photo. The way the hand is placed on his own chest emphasizes that something internal is taking place and in conjunction with the pose of the top hand one is led to believe he is thinking of a lover or something erotic. The lightening and depth of field are great!

I love this. One of the strongest images Ive seen here so far. Excellent composition and sense of mood

Strong image full of juxtapositions.. Excellent lighting and expression. The tight cropping simplifies the moment. Professional work!

Excelent.
