Thank you myfeather. I appreciate you giving your critique with a cause and examples for how you feel. It is always better for an artist to get example of what someone does or doesnt like about something, that is true critique, so thank you. I still disagree with you and this is why. This shot was not intended to portray motion, although that is a good idea. The concept is kind of like this... here is a man who is dedicated, preparing mentally, in his mind. this could even be a mental picture of himself, just before the show(bodybuilding) hiding in the dark, unsuspected anticipating that movement you mentioned, the chance for the hunter to pounce on the prey.
I do hope to see more of your work, and hope you will visit more of my work and let me know how you critique it in the future.
cheers
Jason
