I purposely underexposed this image and presented it in black and white because of this man’s sorrowful pose. Of course, he may not be sad at all, but if he isn’t, he certainly fooled me.
However, for the purposes of argument, let’s assume all he’s doing is taking a much deserved break from his kitchen duties, the wonderful geometry of his arms and legs would still call for de-emphasizing color. (A little more light in that case would of course be justified.)

It is a great picture that leaves a lot to fill in for the viewer. I like the underexposure and think it suits the mood of the picture.

I washed dishes for almost a summer, I felt the same way he might.
