Walid, I really appreciate the nuance in this composition. It is an interesting dynamic, with none of the main lines being level and almost all of the vertical lines being out of plumb. This results in a more interesting aesthetic that I really enjoy. The color grading is quite interesting too, so subtle, but yet also so very intentional. And of course I love that the composition is anchored so solidly by the dark bar spanning the entire frame from edge to edge. This is something that one can study and learn from. Thank you for sharing it with us.
EDIT: One question regarding the reflection in his sunglasses. Is that reflection exactly the way it really looked in the original image, or did you use Photoshop or some other editing program to change the reflection? If the latter, to what extent did you change it?
