The man's pants




Jeanine,

As I mentioned in an earlier post, you should have moved the background figure further to our right. Then the dark side of the man's face would have something lighter to play against. As it is, that side is completely lost and the background figure, especially the numeral "1", still competes for attention.

It seems to me the top of the picture is very dark, leaving the major focus on the bright white of his pants.

Sincerely,
  Reply With Quote
