DPC friendly to the MAX! Seems like it's oversaturated a bit. Unless this was really how it looked?? It's interesting... How would it have looked with the stone off center, I wonder... (not voting yet)

There is a lot to like about this image, but the processing is just too much for my tastes

Thanks Leo for your wonderful critique, I highly appreciate it, It seems I failed '' once again '' to translate the idea in a good way, I was looking for a dark composition, but it seems it wasn't up to DPC's liking. I'll try another go with this composition as soon as time permit, till then, thanks again for your kind critique and encouragement.
Ameed,

Hello from critique club, once more :)

Too much light on the shirt, too little light on the object front of him. Sharp image... second light is coming from very nice angle but I wish it would be brighter.

The photo should tell what it is first look, but it doesn't. I had to compare to the challenge and read the title. Because everything else is too dark, I can't make up that light supposed to be coming from his heart.

I hate to give you a bad critique because idea is very good, little problem with the execution. Prash's comment and 10 probably correct when you look at this photo as another photo, very creative, nice sharp contrast, good posing... You may have people think about the photo and wonder a while surrounded with it's mystical image(!) well, deep meaning I should say.

If you can have another shot of this, for the fun of it, give more light to the front and keep the darkness in the background. You can even blend the shoulders into the dark, but give us more up front so we actually would know he is looking something in his jacket, and maybe put the light behind his vest, so it wouldn't look like he has a light bulb under his jacket.

Sorry for 5.5, this could be easily 6+ range with a little more care... for DPC I mean :\

Thank you Prash for your kind comment and encurragement, and thank you again for the 10.
I was really dissapointed by the rating. I wasn't looking forward to win the challange, but having t hose 1s 2s and 3s really put me down. Like if the entry is not relative to the challange.
But once again, kind comments from kind people like yourself, makes me forget about it and continue ..
Thanks for your kindness, highly appreciated, all the best,
Ameed,
Now to the next challange :)

I really like this image. I'd like to see the top and right cropped in, though
