I love the mood and colour but this has got me really thinking.... if its about the hands then why have the face and why crop the face there..? This is me thinking out loud on the keyboard.... but a crop lower and squarer looses something.... what were his eyes like?
It at first distracted me from the truth of the rest of the photo.
I saw his hands first, then his skin, and then his clothing.
Very moving, and well composed.
