Very neat! The textures you've captured are fascinating, and the grim gray colors and silvery tones gives this a moody atmosphere.

Really nice. At first glance I thought it might look better with more crop on the right hand side but after playing with it I think you found the best version. A little more reflection and sparkle in the diamond would have worked well.

Pretty shot. Pity the diamond wasn't a bit sharper or brilliant.

A nice background/choice to display the product - provides a very good setting. Composition is good, but the technicals of lighting/contrast could use just a bit of work to really make this stand out. I've discovered that reds are very hard to shoot and adjust in post processing - they tend to "blow" with just about anything you do to them, and not sure how to fix this.

I think you should try it again, if he will let you. All that's wrong with this is it looks tentative. IMHO. One of those smooth-on, peel-off beauty masks would protect his skin from the dye in the face-paint. Pose him against a white BG that matches his eye-whites, & don't let his natural skin color show. Maybe work out your lighting in advance to light the black separately from the red. Later, you can work it up to look like a cover for Rolling Stone Magazine or something. "D
