Is there too much contrast ?

I love the colours in this image and my model liked it because it was like a music video but what's the general opinion ? Would love some CC. Shot in natural light with 16-35mm.

Nice shot. I like the colour contrasts of the blue/green in the glass and the dark red background.

Too much contrast? I reckon that would depend on the composition and where the lines are leading to in the image. When I'm trying to figure this out on my own images, I squint my eyes to make it blurry, then see if the overall shape is pleasing to the eye. If that blur has no pattern or is unbalanced, I adjust the position in some way.

The face is great here. The hand might have needed a little twist, though, to make it instantly recognisable. Or maybe lighten that shadow area a bit in post-processing. I had to figure it out for a moment or two.

Great mood and style.

Very nicely explained, Mark!

Really, if you're going to push a lens this wide in someone's face, extra bold everything should be the default style.

Yes, I have a tendency to kill the blacks, I'll have to watch out for positioning of hands in the future . Thanks for the comments Mark.
Extra wide, extra bold - sounds good. Thanks David
