Great slightly tilted composition and wonderful work on the exposure, which I would think would be tricky here. Under rated in the challenge.

How cool is this? He is oooozing fire and energy. I love how it puts that perfect glow on his face. Great photo - shoulda scored higher.

Magnificent lighting and the pose is just perfect. You were definitely robbed, this is easily 6 material. I'm blaming the "drinking-bird" voters on this one.

I just saw where this placed... Unbelievable! This would have gotten at least a 9 from me! ;) Ah well...

The LIGHTING is jaw-dropping. The way it falls on the subjects face, so delicately, and with that touch of gold... incredible work. Very well done! :)

What Don said, and then some. Your model is perfect for photography - classic good looks, and the ability to project soul even with his eyes closed. Use this guy often, please. For photography, I mean.

Can't vote, because I saw it ahead of time, but I just want to say that I like the final product. Very effective. I like the title too. I hope it is well received, I would have given it an 8.

Very striking - composition is fantastic, and you got lots of detail in the shadowed areas. This is really excellent.
