"Lonely....waiting for you" is a nice entry into the Solo Challenge.

I think you have a nice original concept here, I like that you were brave and used an unusual angle for this piece.

Since this is a solo challenge I think the image may have scored higher if we didn't have the side distractions like the vent and the pattern on the chair taking our eyes off the subject. I really do like the side lighting as well as the focus on her.

Overall very cool idea and nice use of lighting to draw us into the piece. I look forward to seeing more of your work.

nice idea but let down visually by the vent in the background.

Nice angle, but the air vent detracts from it somewhat.

Goodluck with this shot Anthony. I like the moody feeling it portrays.

The angle of her head is kind of awkward
