 Shot took place in my closet with my desk lamp shining through a metal pencil holder box. This created the shadows on the wall. I changed into a black sweatshirt and set up my camera on top of a bunch of scrunched up newspaper to position it correctly. Took about 10 shots and I got the one I wanted.

Love the shadows especially...my only suggestion would be to crop of SOME of the top so that more focus would be on the individual. Other than that...great work! 8

He's in a corner, but the ceiling could be very high (he isn't up against it). Lighting and grain are effective, but light pattern on wall looks like blinds -- would be better if the pattern looked like bars!

Well done! The shadow of the grill on the walls further illustrate the point of confinement.

Nope, he looks as if he is ducking a rock being thrown at him, not scared of being trapped. GL.
