I don't like this kind of shot normally ... I usually think "contrived studio shot" and pass it by. But this does have some real impact. The light grabs the attention, of course, but there's also something more than that. It's probably better than I think, and I was thinking 6. So ... it's a 7
Technically fanttastic, but the ultimate effect on me is not strong. No emotional or visionary buttons are being pushed, so it seems more like an exercise than a heartfelt image.
