 My first professional "portrait" gig. I wanted to enter this in Underexposed, but shot it 3 hours BEFORE rollover. I was SO frustrated. Just ask Melethia, Jutilda and JulietNN...

I'm hoping he does well in the FS, although I'm certain the image will be "too dark" for most folks. Long live underexposed captures!!

*sigh* Lloyd is taking a beating, poor thing. Started out with great hope (in the 6s) and has been sinking all week. I sure hope he at least finishes above the mid 5s! Don't worry Lloyd, I still love you!

[post-challenge]

What an anxious week this has been. So glad it made it just over 6 on the day! Thank you all so much for all your votes and such splendid comments.

This is a great image - works well as much for what is hidden as much as what is shown.

Got my highest score for this challenge, wonderfully dark and upbeat at the same time.

I'm bummed that Lloyd didn't place higher, but a 6+ is always GREAT news. Still the blue in my book!

Yes magnificent light and control Jo. Is Lloyd happy with the result? That's what matters.
A 6.18 ain't that bad in a FS! Commentators gave it a 7.11. That's what counts for me.

An awesome low key shot! Great subject, spot on lighting and perfect processing. For me, this is my blue. Good luck!

Simple and powerful image.

I'd love to be able to see his facial expression better!
It might have been a stylistic choice, which I would understand, but the photo is just a tad dark.

Jovial or sinister? I can't tell. Nice.
