Interesting colors, this almost looks HDR. A bit noisy in the upper right, but overall a nice shot.

I don't know what it is maybe all the hair but this it almost like he was drawn. Even the texture of his shirt seems unusual.

Dont get me wrong I think this is a good thing and makes it an interesting shot, I'd be interested to know how you achieved this. I kinda wish you'd dusted that lamp though....probably just the clean freak in me speaking out. And the title bugs me as its well lit and doesn't have the feel of a late night.

Comment by Abstract:
an architect or draftsman i presume. i like the post processing and eye contact a lot. composition is appealing and very well-suited too. background could have been a bit better (homogeneous instead of two distinct halves) 8

Brilliant photo here, I love the lighting and composition. The story is exceptional as well.

Comment by h2:
good focvus, good composition, though crop could be less tight. a bit overprocessed, too soft for my taste

Comment by Camabs:
This pic has some very strong elements, such as lighting, composition, pose and facial expression. It fits the challenge very well too, and it might score well or even very well. I am put off by post processing though. To me, this looks like a paintbrushed image rather than a photograph. I am not sure what you did and whether it is legal in basic. Bottom line is I think you did too much of it and ruined a great picture.

a bit more color would have scored higher from me

Comment by bobnospum:
Looks a little too posed. Also the face almost looks hand drawn rather than photographic which is odd.

I can see your lighting set-up reflected in the lamp shade.
