Chained song

I understand what Mistikelf said in her critique and actually share some of her views about the picture; those in regards to composition and the semiotics that we as spectators can find within the frame...
But that being said, I would like to refer specifically about 2 things both in the post – processing area, because that for me took the power, the strength and a lot of the emotions that this image has to offer
the first one is the amount of softness that I can see in the face area, while the hole picture maintain the actual proportions for depths, that amount of blur/softness takes the attention away from the actual “pain of being forced to play the song over and over again”
I believe you have a really great image in your hands just like "Man of the street" which is for me your best (people related)
The second part of my critique refers to the vignetting, I do believe it works wonders for your composition and lighting but I also believe that especially in the right area of your image. That perfect define circular edge kills the mood…

This work even though it’s good. It’s not amazing as the previous critique says, “Man of the Street” another work from this same artist actually manage to translate far better his outstanding capabilities with the camera.
