Knowing the identity and history of the subject changes the pictures impact significantly

yeah i agree before i read OP it just looked like a badly shot portrait of a person. Its a case of the subject of the image elevating an otherwise boring photo.

Don't know much about composition but I think it works well, subject well in shot, juxtaposition of angle between collar of the jacket and the face.

A few things I love about it. The expression which is both silly and maddening. The way the darkened background presents the event and action in a dramatic, performance like way. Tzhe abstracted hand pointed as if ready to stab like a knife.

It is the visual manifastion of bundy, candid, to a level that I feel very few photos of that nature can match.

What are you implying doesn't matter?

This.

Also, great rule of thirds, solid dof, good exposure.
All photos change according to to subject matter.

cheap shot glorifying the worst of society.

It's just taking photos of homeless people cranked up to 11, and any artistic merit is removed because the subject on it's own has incredibly strong emotional connections.

cheap, nasty, exploitative photography at it's worst.

It's also a bit of a technical travesty, the image has clearly been cropped in heavily, and they're in a court room with flattish light, yet everything be contrasty as fuck. insta-art trash.

That's cute. You're in the "if i can figure out what they did to a photo it's bad" phase of your development.
