 Definately one of the coolest James Bond characters! Jaws rocks! :)

As a huge James Bond fan I HAD to enter this challenge. I like the image but my metal teeth reflect too much. Who cares, in the movies they do too.

I put aluminium foil over my teeth to get the Jaws-look. That was quite displeasing as the foil was very hard and made me salivate a lot.

No, I'm not that old: I darkened the crinkles to make me look more like an evil minion :)

*** After Challenge ***
"Sorry" to all that are wearing inlays :)) I heard that it is painfull to bite on aluminium foil then.

When I brushed my teeth that evening I had such a bitter taste in my mouth. This must have been the leavings of the foil on my teeth. Overall I can NOT recommend doing this - so I will find a model if I ever want to do something similar again ;)

You are right: I wanted to do something with a golden gun but didn't want to invest in a toygun and golden spray. So I chose Jaws who is one of my favorite characters.

Great lighting on this, but I'm not a fan of the aluminum foil.

Great expression, teeth, chain, pose - made me grin and remember Richard Kiel.

I've only watched a couple of James Bonds movies years ago, and this photo is immediately identifiable. Well done on getting the message across. You did a nice job in framing this composition considering it's nearly a square crop. Skin tones (face especially) have good color and detail - not washed out. The left eye (from viewing perspective) looks to have a 'dodging' circular area of white (whiter than surrounding area) in the lower off-center area. I wouldn't mention it normally, but for some reason it kind of jumps out at me. In the overall scheme of things that observation is so very minor.

Clever use of props. :D Didn't that hurt your teeth?! Best of luck to you in the challenge.

Dear God, please tell me that's not tin-foil on your teeth! :: (rubs teeth furiously) :: I'll give you a 9 if you just don't show me this one again...

hee hee - I was thinking of him. The teeth work, but he doesn't look sinister enough.

I think this is my fave so far -definitely recognizable from the movies and creatively put together - and obviously studio enough and professional looking - I like the way he's looking at the camera because he was a confident character witout a bit of shame and he was always scary to the viewer. top 5 I'd predict.
