Really great take!

very very nice original photo...best of luck author...gl

Great use of shadows! Love that your model is crouched in the corner, as if the world has beaten him down and he is just trying to deflect the pain. Only criticism is I would have rolled his left sleeve down below his elbow (as on his right arm). Still, love it!

P.S., totally knew it was you. :P

Yeah, steve I was thinking the same thing. then the more i looked and the slight obscurity of the sleeve being rolled up farther than the other, the more I liked it.

I thought it was you...great idea!

WOW...

thanks even better in highrez i used a round makeup mirror that has a light to get the light effect in my eyes took me a few good tries to get this right

Yes author, I had a hunch you would enter.
