Neat idea - good job.

Good concept and something I would have done as well. I'd have pumped the blue saturation a bit and may position the 4 boxes slightly more to the right of his eye closer to his ear. Good luck!

I think it might be better as a stock photo if he were not looking at the camera. Maybe.

good idea. if the subject would have had a more happy expression I would have voted higher on this. To me, it looks like he doesnt really want to be there. Other than that, I like the use of colors, especially the compliment of blue and orange.

Chin down a bit so we're not looking up your(??) nose would have been a bit better. I like the idea and the sharpness.

It's pretty cool but the colors look very strange to me.

Good, but for one thing. He looks apathetic, which doesn't work for a stock photo. However, he's probably been up all night getting the new systems ready to go and now you want to take his picture.

Nice idea. Pity his expression is so stiff - think a warmer smile might work better for a stock photo.

A great idea, could have been better if the projected image interracted with the subject a bit more (7)

His eyes look great but the projecting over him is disracting

great idea!

I like the idea. I'm not sure the model's expression sells it so much. I like the comp, though.

Haha! He has that dazed look so many IT workers have! I know the feeling! Love the servers on his face. Gives it a bit of humor! Great photo. Well done! The photo stock companies should love this one! :)

The foreground is just too prominent to make this an effective "see through" shot.

Another one I can identify with

A very nice take on the challenge and well accomplished visually. I am sure the lighting was not a fun thing to balance on this shot, and I think you did it very well.

Lighting from the projector creates issues with the overall photo -5

I like it all except for the projected image over the face.

A good idea to put someone in front of the ubiquitous projector in a meeting room... however I think that you would have gotten a stronger image with less details. Meaning: wider angle shot, capturing more of a business person with more of the environment. I did not need to see the specifics of the presentation, nor it serves any purpose as a generic stock photo to show a server farm topology or whatever that is...
