A well executed shot of a not so original proposition. It's been done, many times, but not well EVERY time. You did it well. Stick to photography, perhaps you have a future.

Yup. Light in EVERY place that should be lit... and NOT in every place that shouldn't be.

SUCH MOOD!

Perfection. I'm thrilled over your ribbon.

Very nicely done, this is the sort of shot that naturally works well in low key. I think you have done a very good job with the lighting here, and the black space works well. One of my favourites so far, and my first 10.
