Good remake....but a TV? Shouldn't it be a mondo speaker? And the TV isn't even turned on? Still good though.

Great concept, ISO looks very high and I think the concept would have been improved with a BIG TV or stereo as your TV doesn't look like it would generate a blast!

It seems very soft on the detail, so I looked at the file size. There may some excessive JPEG compression taking away some detail. (To be fair, however, all that black background compresses well.) Your file size is only 50k and you could have used up to 200k for this challenge. Compression kills detail. Always use the least compression you can get away with and still come in under challenge limits. Most image editors have that ability to adjust compression somewhere in the file save dialog. Here is how it works in Paintshop Pro, along with more explanation of compression, if is is of any help:

Very dramatic shot. Could easily see this as a product shot.

Pleasing and clean. Boost the light on him and his shirt a bit and you'd have a great stock shot!

I like this for the most part. Your lighting, background and subject are perfect for the challenge and for stock shots in general. It comes off to me as a touch darker and duller than I would expect though. I popped this into my editor to see, and some quick levels, curves and contrast really made this pop nicely and looks like something I would see in an advertisement.
