Art -- You probably don't remember me. It's been a while. I'm the guy with the Peep Portfolio. Life got busy and photography slipped away for a long while. But now, thanks to ebay, I'm going to try to get back. This wasn't my best effort. You were right, on camera flash. Mostly I was playing around with the weird new (to me) Tamron 500mm mirrored lens with a macro setting. It a little too sharp too. Thanks for taking the time to comment.

IMO, hands down the best pic of the challenge and best fit. Not only are the eyes captivating, they express just a hint of despair. Great shot!

I don't know what this is, but I like it very much. Colors and use of light and dark make this pop.
I'd hang it on a wall.
Bumping.

Everything about this is good - lighting, rule of thirds, black on black shirt.
It stands as a really good portrait. And then you made it meet the challenge exceptionally well.
Had to come back and bump it up.

Good concept and very well executed.

Really well done. This meets the challenge and in my poor opinion, rises well above the others.
