Greetings from the Critique Club!
The message
This image has a rather surrealistic feel with the too-large head and high contrast, mostly monochromatic background. There is a hint of texture inside the shadow that adds to this effect. It won't appeal to everyone, but it is very creative. Probably a bit too "artsy" to get a high score on DPChallenge.
Creative choices
The lighting is perfect for the effect you've created; the shadow is not too sharp, not too fuzzy, and just the right size. The background works well, as does your pose. I think the composition is a bit off; the "head" crowds the top of the frame too much.
Technical aspects
The exposure, focus, and processing are great. The sharpness of the background gives it a nice texture. The shape of the body is very realistic, especially the muscles in the legs and arms; this makes the huge head all the more surrealistic. |

Looks almost like Atlas holding up the world more than a happy face. |

Funny shot, but too much editing. |

Interesting image but I find it much overprocessed. Looks more like a painting on canvas than a photograph. |
