This looked like a spider's web in the preview, didn't realize it was broken gladd until I saw the full view of the image :O

Critique, critique... hmm...

Well...
It's a well shot photograph, but I don't really "get" what it's trying to say. I mean, the provocative nature indicates that it's probably meant to be an image with a message, but I don't get what that message is. Also, I don't see a connection with the title.

Is IS very well shot though, it looks as if the headphones have made some kind of sonic shockwave :)
:iconanominon:
Scrath not understanding the title, I get it now, the guy's name is Mars. :doh:

Nice touch with the hand getting cut. Anyway, you asked for critic so here we go:

I think the glass is tinted too dark, it takes away quality from the person and makes the image seem flat, as if the glass was just slapped on. If it was a bit clearer it would have a nicer fresher look especially with the white pattern on his shirt. My biggest problem with the glass being so dark, is (I assume) the intention to draw attention to his eye, is just too much contrast. And with the viewers eye wanting to go to the models eye and the hands, it feels torn and causes the eye to feel distracted instead of settled to take in the whole image.
As well, I like how the cracks are highlighted on the bottom and too the top, why not add some more along the person and arm?
If you did drop the tint on the glass, I'd also add, a very blurred, and subtle shadow from the cracks, onto the person (not the background so as to add depth).

I love the lighting on the headphones, great highlights and tones, it just looks very nice, and does for the most part, capture your attention.

As far as the person, I think he could use some more hair light, and maybe even some subtle rimlight on the Left side (from the viewers/my point of view) of his face, the glass doesn't allow you to see any real separation from him and the background, so I'd find that separation a bit more pleasing.

And I don't know why, but the hue of his lips bug me.


Hope I helped a bit and wasn't too harsh. Happy shooting mate.
