This photograph by Robert Mapplethorpe is very fashionable and trendy as well as artistically symbolizing taboo human behavior, the clothing style is very revealing and oddly worn, as shown by the pants being lower than necessary and the shirt covering the private area. The black and white coloring and smooth solid background of the photograph adds a nice touch, And the angle of the shot exposes a slick hairstyle and larger portion of the man's body. The choice of flowers is also nice.
This photograph is one of my favorite because of the concept of a face half submerged in water. The focal point seems to be the face, especially the center nose of the water, the manner in which the water ripples at the edges of his face and are almost symmetrical at the corners gives a clean artistic feel to the photograph. Additionally the white and black adds to the water and hair's contrast with one another and the focus on a large face is quite a powerful effect to the looker/
