Greetings from the critique club!

As mentioned before this is a really great idea that is kinda hard to pull off effectively. Some editing in post would have helped this shot quite a bit I think.

That aside getting away from the wall might have helped as there are some harsh shadows. Also, since your are using a long exposure anyways, I would have used a smaller aperture to get more sharpness.

A different angle would also help set the mood a bit and perhaps get better lighting of your face (especially on the left hand capture).

I'd be interested in seeing another attempt at this shot addressing some of the issues presented here and in other comments.

Good idea, however the execution is poor. Difficult thing to do on basic edit and get right.

sorry, you had bad lighting, looks fake, and one of you is bigger than the other!

This could work out better with a different background... even a dark black towel behind you would make this image just POP!
But your worst nightmare... does that mean that you never struggle with yourself??

I'm really curious how you did this. The lighting and shadows are pretty harsh.

These are hard to do well. Experiment more with lighting and tonal range.

very cool concept, i think the idea had alot of potential, I would have liked to see it portrayed as an internal battle, but its all good.

Image is too flat - lacks depth

Nice shot.

nice effort in basic - the lighting is really flat here and the contrast needs some boosting
