Is it a bottle of red wine? (my screen is very dark and I cant change it) Nice shot, very emotive and impactful. Reason I asked if it was a bottle of wine, it kinda depicts someone who is drinking his tyroubles away/ alcoholic etc. Very strong. If this isnt the case, please disregard!

Love it. Not quite a silhouette, since there's discernable detail, but yet enough in the shadow to leave a lot to the imagination. If it was an advanced editing challenge, I would edit out the one line above the neck (you maybe would've, too). Great work!

I love the profile. Would be a 10 if I could tell what the object is on the right.

I love the lighted outline of the face! I'm not sure what that is the person is looking at but this is a very appealing photo. Good job.

grea shot, just enough light to see everything you need to see. which keeps it mysterious!

Comment by wrobel:
I'm jealous because what you've achieved is what I was trying to achieve in a comp in another forum. I used reflected light (bounced off a wall) to get a shillouette of face and glass. My only criticism would be that the glass is held at an angle that grates on the senses (if that makes any sense to you). Less fluid (I used a half full wine glass) in the glass and held at about 45o would have looked better.

cheers

I had to look at this twice for several minutes each to figure out that it was a glass of something (beer? wine?). I like the silhouette/backlighting, but feel this image would be stronger if it included more midtones so every element was more easily identifiable. Overall, it's a decent shot. Good luck in the challenge!
