Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hello Shannon, I̢۪m Alan.
For ease I will break down your image in 3 parts, background, light painting, And your model.
The background, a nice smooth black, no distractions, well done so I will call it a non issue.
The light painting, nice flow, great color, nothing blown out, again well done.
Your model, looks to me properly conveying anger, really all in all not bad lighting, if he was the full image I would place it in the OK column.
The problem I see, or don̢۪t see, is a connection between the light painting and your angry model. Perhaps connecting the light to the model, ie a hand with the light emanating from the fingertips ( use your imagination). Possibility the light spelling out a word (the object of the anger), Job, car, children ect.
Looking at your portfolio, I am seeing a rapid improvement, and have no doubt in the very near future, these sub 5 images will show only how far you have come..
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
