 My homage and emulation of the Raiders of the Lost Ark scene.

I am absolutely nuts -..officially. The cave in the background...is crumpled up black trash bags. Hopefully with the lack of good DOF it will look like wet rock.

My husband agreed to do a re-shoot of this scene to correct all mistakes made the night prior. So a great big hats off to him for he hated the theater make-up I did to get a gritty look on his hands and face. I came as close as I could. I hope it garners some smiles and appreciative nods. As to what it will look like on other people's screens - well, that's an area I run into problems with. So I shall see how this is received.

good idea and technical, but his hands are in a strange position

This is a fun image, I think the wrinkles in the backdrop work nicely. However, his hands and arms bother me. I would have really enjoyed something a bit more inside more as if he is getting ready for the switch.

Excellent setup. Nice lighting, very easily mistaken for the actual movie.

i love the intense look in his eye, very nice. always been a fan of this movie. composition wise, could use some work. somewhat centrally located, but could work that way as well. i guess it's just up to preference. good luck with this, i voted this one of my highest.

I like the effort you put in here. 8 for now. Coming back. 9 for the pure effort. The flash is a bit bright, which keeps me from giving you a 10.

The background is too distracting. My first thought was what is all that shiny stuff in the background? Solid black would work better.

Cool pose and a nice tribute to a great movie. The lighting seems a bit too bright and harsh on his hands and face.
