very mooody, but I would have liked it even more if the man's right arm would still be in focus and if there were a bit more post processing, especially color grading done on the picture.

Thanks! Ended up moodier than I thought it was going to haha. the DOF of MF film means that his arm couldn't be in focus unfortunately, and over-processing film would sort of defeat the purpose of shooting it in the first place.

I quite like this shot, you left a bit of mystery and that curiosity brought me into the image.

Thanks! It was shot on Kodak Portra 800, so that probably explains the film look
