Nice and sharp on your face and an interesting glow on your arm from the gelled light.

Nice perspective and low key, time to go all in perhaps ;)

Good low key shot, I like that you managed to get some separation between the black hoodie and background.

I agree with Jon, great lighting but might look better without the bottom. Also, is your white ball yellow?

Comment by Jon_H:
I really like how the shot is lit but would crop the bottom of the shot to lose the ball.

Thanks for the comments/critique.

Cue ball is yellowish from age. This table was moved from my parents house. It has been recovered numerous times but the balls are original and approaching 30 years old.

The background... it is the insulation covering the basement wall.

I know the background horrible but I couldn't get my original concept to work , didn't have time to fix it in post (kids take up too much time), so I just went with it. Wish I would have thought of the black backdrop but I was beginning to get a bit frustrated that I couldn't get to where I wanted to go.

Perhaps I will re-shoot this or touch it up in PS when I have some time.
