Little shocked this one didn't do better. Looks wonderful to me... perhaps the odd angle?

I think it's the composition. Forget the hands. Focus on the face and crop a little tighter...

Also the eye goes to the light and he's the darkest thing in the photo... get rid of some of the background light with either a faster shutter or reduce ISO and bounce the flash.

In PP, you can add a levels layer set to multiply mode and it will dark. Using the layer mask you can restore the lightness to the main character and use gradient fill to create diminishing light.

Nice job... gave it a 7, but then took off 3 for way too many straight lines... Great image outside the challenge though. Good work.
