I know a lot of work went into this shot...but I'm not sure that the lighting was apropriate.

Nicely done. Is that just a photo you found on the right, or actually another photo of this model? It does look like her, so a great match if not.

It's hard to tell from this image size to see what effects you've used, but to me it looks like the skin tone has become a bit gray and unnatural looking. It may have also effected the lighting or also the separation between the boy and background, because he almost looks "cut and pasted" into the dark background. Maybe on a larger image it would be easier to see.

Why not use a real flower? Here, the backlighting accentuates the fact that it's artificial.

Very moody. Almost "Star Wars - ish" I'd try to get out that little bit of yellow highlight on the top of the pole, though. That's just me. Nice image.

Interesting idea, but much too dark. Would have been nice to see more of the person's expression.

Good subject and composition but lacking in contrast.

So... um... Star Wars Fan? The bastard's not the grim reaper. And while the lighting is good on him, I'm really distracted by the foreground. That's no Naboo. That looks more like the stained glass from Beauty and the Beast, the Disney intro. Infact, I'm almost willing to bet that that's what you did. You went to your sister's closet and cut up one of her old disney books. Sick... really sick... Also, I'm not feeling the ground. I would like the ground to be a little less obvious. I can tell its a black sweater. Probably warm-ups. However, I like the photo, because, when you think about it, here's the dark sith lord, trying to convey his sinister presence from below his hooded cloak, when, really, he's just a tiny plastic figure waiting for Belle.
