:-). Alsmost goes without saying, your model is overexposed. Well done getting it looking this balanced though, as this owuld be a difficult subject for a camera to meter correctly. The Maglight on the left looks clearer than the model, was the off-focus intentional?

Sorry, a bit silly for my taste. Maybe if I couldn't see the wall and shed in the background? I like Otto the bus driver though. Good luck with the challenge!

You have a lot of light sources, however, the relfetion of the flashlights is distracting. Good ides.

You might try a black background next time- the backyard is distracting.

it's cute, but there is such a thing as overkill, you know. you've totally obliterated the detail on the central thing (looks like otto from the simpsons). i honestly took the challenge to infer that you should shoot something illuminated by multiple light sources, but i guess this technically fits. seriously, how many torches do you own? i would like to have seen a shot taken higher up at a different angle, so that only the reflective surface filled the shot - the dark background doesn't really fit in my mind. this is certainly a strange but humourous one...

A bit over the top - poor guy's highlights are blown out. Funny concept.

funny, but...no...too bad to get a high score from me, because the background is just way too disturbing, the figure is not really suggesting what your title is saying and the lightning on the whole scene is bad...

Love the humour of this one - as suggested by the title.

Well, you do have the multiple light sources! Kinda tough to find the focal point of the image. Might work better with a larger subject?

I think you've gone a bit overboard here - we didn't really need to see the lights. I'd crop it right in on the little guy and his reflection - it would be really obvious that there were multiple light sources and would make it quite interesting.
