I really like what you are attempting with your lighting but the contrast has cost you too much detail. A fresh perspective though and good luck!

I like the idea of having a dark image and the light blue. I am unsure. I can definately see stock applications for this type of image. However i would also like to see more detail (i.e. less shadow) in some areas). Having said that, i like how there is attention drawn to the left side of the guys face.

I'm getting a photo that looks really, really dark. I think it fits the challenge better then most however: certainly more so then mine!

Nice pose. Think the lighting could have been improved a bit though. Too much detail seems lost on the dark suit, and there is an odd purple/blue glow around the edges.

nice idea! IMO it could use a bit of fill light to make out the suit

He's a thinker, not a do-er.

nice I think if he was looking away from the camera with his eyes it would be better.

I could see this in a brochure or catalog. I like the low key lighting. Good model, nice expression and pose. Well done! 8
