I named this picture "dismay" because I feel hopeless when it comes to FB. I am so SICK and Tired of Facebook and you're right.- most people mindlessly scroll through the content of other people's lives when they are bored. Although, I think this is the case for all social media, but FB especially. I also hate that FB is connected with EVERYTHING. "No, I don't want to sign in using my Facebook, account!" Geez. Ok, I'm off my soapbox now and on to your picture. I really like the picture?
I think this picture is like an ad for Facebook or the iPhone or the integration of Facebook on the iPhone. it totally looks commercial, so I agree with Professor Simon. I like the composition--the high angle works and you really filled the frame with the subject. The background is a nice contrast - blue and green works. The rich deep blue is nice and your focus is on point. You added the hand, which I think is crucial in selling this theme of boredom. So I think you did a great job with that. I would like to see more interaction --like scrolling through the pages and I think that would help the "ad" feel a little.
I would improve the exposure on the hand. Your thumb looks a little blown out. Did you use fill flash or a pop of flash on the image? The whites are teetering on being a little overexposed. But overall, I like your thought concept behind this image. I think you really made the theme current with the trends of today's generation.
I completely understand where you're coming from, but my first impression was this was an ad for the FB operating system phone.
