Painted him in that pose with sparklers for 173 sek at the coast. I was not 100% happy with this one and wanted to try again but we where getting to much attention and when the second car was driving to us off road in the night to check on the sparkler light, we desided to quit so no more people would get worried ;).

First impression: This is such a great use of a single light source, but the choice of model, pose and location really makes it an outstanding image. Glad to see your creativity was rewarded with a ribbon! :-)
Artistic: It's always tough to critique images that have ribboned. Love the dynamic pose esp on the edge of a cliff, in the dark...guess you and your model knew the surrounding area well as you'd have been painting him with sparklers. The hoodie/mask? adds an air of mystery to him too.
Technical: Aha! Finally I found something to pick apart - I do feel that there is too much negative space to the right. But otherwise I am at a loss.
Overall: Again this is just such a great example of what I'm always telling noobs to do - concentrate on taking a good pic and don't worry about the pp. Because this image is just perfect for illustrating the KISS principle. I take it from your comments that you were on DPC before and are returning. If that is the case, please stay!!
"Use a single, artificial light source to dramatically light the subject of your choice" Think i did that literally ;) Thank you all for the good comments and votes. Nice to be back here :)
I've been racking my brain trying to work out how you've done this. I was initially thinking a quick flash then a long exposure... or did you have an assistant by any chance? ;)
OMG!!! That is too cool for words! I sure hope you're not getting any "that's more than one light source" comments!!! Fabulous. Perhaps not quite so much negative space.
