Kinda spooky :) I suppose it meets the challenge, but in kind of a weird way. In other words, I'm guessing that your intent was to highlight the left side of the face ("the subject") while leaving the other side dark. But since the other half of the face is "implied," it still seems centered to me... but that's just my rambling. It's still an interesting shot with a cool mood to it.

Very nice. I like it. Good use of duotone. Really love the focus and mixture of softness and contrast, esp on the eyebrow. Not sure how well this meets the challenge, sine the subject is pretty much right in the center, but you decided to use lights to cover it up. Still an 8 from me.

Nice 2-for1 entry -- I think I like the upper one a bit better.

Prefer the lower image. I'd have liked a little more colour, otherwise, excellent.

Good idea to repeat it. I don't care much for the colors. I think black and white would look really good.
