Portraits ans Self-Portraits

Self-Portrait

Professional Portrait

What I feel that makes a photo good is that the main subject(s) are clear to the viewer and as you can see compared to the the self portrait to the professional portrait of Carlos Santana there is a big contrast of brightness. In the self portrait to the viewer it is difficult to notice the man in the photo playing a guitar and that it is his reflection of a mirror. And the photo with Santana, you can right away see the main subject it does not make the viewer guess which I feel that may actually might be a bad thing because the  photo is more interesting when the viewer kinda has to let his/her mind wonder. So this might be a case were a little to much exposer of light and not enough is a main controversy. At the end I feel that the viewer should have a clear understanding of the photo but the photo should still be interesting and tell a story.
