I love this picture. The pose is great. The colors and texture of the jacket really POP out. The shadows are very nice, they add some mood to the photo. What I don't like the color of the skin. It is so red. Did it get this way because you upped the saturation of color? My mother would say that you had a fever because your ears are so red. LOL I would have fixed the skin color by selective desat or added a 50% transparent sepia layer. I would also love to see this in black and white.

The editing is great, except for the weird pink around the eyes. Didn't know you wore make-up. :-P

Great job though, I love those light shadows on the wall.

This should have had a higher placement. Top 50 isn't too shabby though.

Is it my monitor or is his eye glowing or something? Is that the point?

Neat shot, but the edges of the man seem a bit too obvious...maybe over sharpened? 7

Nice shot! I like the pose and the choice of background, especially the shadow. I'm guessing you processed his eyes a bit (at least I hope so!) which I think are excellent, even from the thumbnail they grab my attention. It reminds me of "bladerunner" or a 50's detective story, so IMO fits the challenge brilliantly - you've captured the mood well. I hope top 10, I'd go further but I dont want to jinx you!

This is funny. Love the way you colored his face. The light on his face and the shadows on the wall enhance the mood. Nice. 9.

Although he's looking serious enough, it isn't screaming conspiracy at me. I like the image though.

They're teaming up against you! Only you and your Nordstroms rack jacket can possibly stand in the way of their sinister plans.

Best of the lot. Great use of shadows, lighting and color along with the subject's expression convey a conspiratory mood.

What's the theory? Nice portrait/fashion type shot.

I don't remember much about the movie, but I'm thinking Mel Gibson? This is a nice shot, only suggestion is to fix up the color around his right eye. It looks like it has a bit of a reddish cast to it. Maybe even tone down the reds a little in general too cool off the shot a bit.

Very intense look on his face....excellent use of colour tones.

Cool shot. I might desat the red in his face a touch but maybe that was your intent. THe lighting and shadows are great.

This photo gives me a good, stealth feeling. I like the lighting too. Well done.
