April 06, 2020 3:45pm i find this to be so artistic. it feels un-posed, which is good in this case. it's like the photographer captured this and you didn't know they were there. very candid shot, i admire it.

There is something also in the flow of the photo, which you have achieved with the pose, is that the direction of your face takes the viewer to your hands. Since your pants are dark and fall away against the background,with the lighter color of your skin this generates a flow through the photo that really makes it a strong visual.
