Aziz asleep in the bath - update

Not knowing the story behind this image, or what it is based on, I see here a warrior who may have finally found some time to unwind from his constant battles and travels.

That is exactly what I find interesting here: a story is told, or viewers are invited to write their own, with an aid of a relatively simple setting, and just a few props. I would imagine that he is dreaming of home, or maybe recalling the enemies he took down and women he conquered. Lighting decision, as well as camera work, contribute to the relaxing atmosphere and help create the impression similar to that of a candid photograph.

The only thing I would have tried, simply to see if the appeal of the image could be further increased, is playing around with framing, DOF, and focal length. It appears that Aziz may need just a bit more space above his head, and from the viewers perspective his legs look just a tad strange. Again, this is just my personal thought, which should likely be ignored.

I will not go into the technicalities, and simply say that for a biased render engine the results are very good.
