This picture is interesting because without the dark background and red light creating a sinister, dark appearance on the man, he would basically just be a 'random guy standing there in a nice suit looking pretty cool'. The darkness and light (They create contrast because darkness and light correspond with each other although light is usually affiliated with good so that's a great twist to add to this image) deliver much more depth and balance the picture even more, giving it a near-definitive subject-Being sinister. The image revolves around this due to all of the darkness it uses. The dark jacket he's wearing, the almost as dark shirt that slowly get darker as it descends into the jacket, his body as it travels down into the shirt and the middle of his neck and face which has a whole line of darkness travelling up it. The red light is able to add to this as red often signifies blood while black signifies murder, two related subjects. Could the man in the image be a potential murder based on the current information that's been gathered? Perhaps? Relating to the subject of blood, the red light is shining on the left hand side of his face, perhaps symbolising all of the blood within it as well as the entire human body too, or how it spill whenever a cut is made.........
Anyway, this is a really good image DIVASOFT, well done. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="

Hi, Diva! I like the drama that the red brings to the piece. It can be interpreted as danger, or evil, or sex. This ambiguity is great.
It looks like the red color was added in a post-produciton process. Am I correct? I say this because you did a great job of spilling color onto the left side, but look at the collar. The light should also wrap a little bit on the edge of the collar. But in this case the realism is less important, because it's otherwise a very strong image.
Did you try letting his eyes be a little more defined and visible? I wonder if you could have lightened them just a little bit and still have kept the mystery.
I always like your work. I hope that you never take offense at my notes. I'm not a professional, but I hope to be one some day. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="
