Thinking

He's thinking hard. What do you think?

Thanks for looking.

I like a lot of elements in this image. The placement of the person, the way the white stripes of his shirt lead you around to his arms & then his face, these are good elements. The drawback is that I find the bright element in the background really competes for your attention and draws your eye away from the main subject.

Michael,

In addition to the composition, which tells a story we can translate for ourselves, the defining quality here is the use of light and shade.
