The image is very striking! I'd prefer a composition that complements the drama of the image - this half angle doesn't punch like I think it could - maybe with the subject glaring into the lens? Great colors and an excellently captured moment.

What's the story on this photo?

great capture! the light is perfect and i love the expression on his face and the drool hanging from his lip. i don't watch wrestling. who is this guy again?

This is WWE Superstar TripleH. The company I work for produced a TV commercial for a product where he is a spokesperson. I was lucky enough to document the filming of the entire commercial. See the final commercial Here. http://www.2advanced.com/case_studies/BSN/

hehe, this is just gross :)

Miles said 800 days ago:

It's an excellent shot, nicely lit and an especially dramatic moment, but for me it's the drool that makes the shot :)

Excellent photo - the neutral background, and the lighting provided by that subtle flash as worked very nicely. It's very dramatic, too. Perhaps the only thing I'm not so keen is how central in the frame he is, and a tighter crop might have made this even more dramatic.

The drool is what does it for me.

Imagine the impact if he was looking at the camera!

Lol. Wow.

Very strong - great lighting.

Love that intensity.

Also, I think more people need to connect their moustache to their mutton chops. It just makes sense.
