 Stepped out of my comfort zone with this one, and entered a portrait (of sorts). The person pictured is jeger, so I have to thank him for being thug-like :) Also, big thanks to Shutter-For-Hire (Eric) for teaching us how to use some Alien Bees lights, and for holding the lights in this shot.

Weird Stat: 11th Place seems to be my number. This is the 5th time in 101 challenges that I have finished 11th :)

haha! Didn't see this one...nice! Yeah, that troublemaking graffiti artist jeger. Good use of Eric AB's...maybe a reflector camera right to give some detail to the dark clothes?

Great mood lighting, nice tones, stellar lighting, although maybe a bit too bright on the face and left hand.

Strange tools! Nice shot and setup, colours and location excellent. Clean shaven thug spoils it though :P They mostly have a hood covering their faces!
