did you spray this poor guy with a garden hose? this is obviously a staged shot... no worries, i comment even though the images are staged... the right side is blown a bit and that tiny flicker of his right hand is a bit distracting... maybe if you burned the image on the left then the highlights wouldn't be as dramatic... my eye tends to move to that direction in particular... 6

Face/skin is a tad flat. Im sure you probably couldn't avoid this with lighting issues being out of your control. The clarity and expression make it a good photo.

A very intense photograph, stripped to the bare essentials, and all the more successful for it. 8

Interesting composition and subject. I like the light vs dark you've got going on. The lighting is intriguing from behind. Nice job.

VERY COOL. I love your use of light. Good movement and stop action

Upon 2nd review, this is still one of my highest ranked photos. And the title is so appropos. I'm a lover of the dark shots and this is an outstanding example. I'm curious to find out how you did it. Way to go.
