Hello Smruti,
I like the colours and sharpness in this image. The dark background makes the actor stand out, his expression seems to be one of fear. I wish he was looking at the camera, you probably have other shots showing this?
Kind regards,
Manoj

A very good one here razor sharp despite the difficult light conditions
I like that
