I came back to see who did this one, since it looked like my little guys from last week... and look who it is! :)

I like your lighting setup more than I liked mine... much more dramatic, and I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I like that you have the sitting match with his head bent over a bit (I broke mine off and had to glue it back on, so I know how difficult that is to do). You also handled the b/w conversion nicely, using a full range of tones.

I think the glue splotches, the grainy quality (though, it looks like you may have tried to soften it up a bit), and the uneven line in the background probably worked against you. Had those technicals been better, this would have done really well I think!

Looking at your EXIF, I'm confused about why you used a 70-300 lens, and a 10 second exposure. Maybe something to discuss in the D50 thread?

Good idea, but the quality is a little poor. Image is lacking details.

Comment by EstimatedEyes:
Nice idea, tho I think the figure could have moved closer to keep head out of shadows. You also appear to have a white balance problem here, unless you were going for the orange-yellow cast.
