I think this image is strong because it captured the attitude and interests of the man and communicates a lot about him without showing a lot of his face. Not only is his head turned to the side, the majority of his face is in shadow, making it the darkest spot on the photo and the immediate focal point. The photographer composed this photo very carefully, keeping his subject fairly centered but still maintaining asymmetrical balance by the use of the wires in the background (using line to bring the viewers eye around and add visual interest). The photo was also carefully taken in a moment where the accordion was open, off-centering his composition further.
I like this image because of the serene feeling and informal, flowing composition that comes from the line of her arm to the face and then back down through the hair. I like the high contrast between the light point on the wrist, hand and face and her hair, along with the shadow along her chest.
This is a good quality image for many reasons, including the interesting off-centered composition and the attitude of this photo. Firstly, the subject is an Opera singer, so he photographed her singing to portray more about her than her than her appearance. I also like the symmetry of her face in contrast to the right-side composition and flowing hair.
