 Self portrait. Experimenting with flash off camera and fired with the right hand.

I had the idea of doing something a bit unconventional, hence the roaring expression. I thought it would go well with the harsh shadows and low key.

One of my top three choices for a ribbon in this challenge. The dark tonality is exceptional and the expression capture is perfect for low-key.

Like that you included shoulders and bit of chest instead of just face.

A classic male style for low-key. Excellent tones, great expression to match this style. This will be one of the higest placing images, definite top three ribbon potential. You have tad bit more mid-tones than some but this is good capture that is nicely composed.
