October 17, 2008 1:07pm I like this photo, but i think there's too much contrast. ok, that was your choice but i think there's a reason why all manuals say it's better if you still keep some detail in the shade. i think black comes too quickly, without any shade. black takes too much space in the composition. as a result, it is not very much balanced in my opinion, everything is on a side.
(i tell you this because i love this idea, pose, composition and so on... if i wouldn't, i wouldn't take some minutes to tell you that :) hope i've been useful to you)
