really well done, great pose and lighting

I have to agree with itsmymoment on this one because the man is a very handsome guy and his face isn't highlighted enough--it's kind of flat. But this is an awesome picture as it is! And I have to say that the posing is PERFECT! It looks natural and comfortable for him (I get OCD about posing sometimes)
edit: next time I would wipe off the back of his shirt though after posing him against things

Agree with Ray! Beautiful! One day I will learn how to do this long exposure thing!

This is beautiful. I love the long exposure has made everything soft except for the antenna.

My fav in this contest.

Fantastic!

That shot is very good in Orange/Black

I disagree with mymoment, It is perfect just the way it was shot, again GREAT job!!

Author, the rim-lighting is superb...great set-up and location, just need a hint of spot-lighting on the face to make this BAM! magazine worthy...sincerely great job

Awesome light textures and the pose of the model, well done =)

oh yea that's right... CRACK COCAINE is rock so we'll just go with Cocaine I'll study up on my illegal drugs for next time

Superb shot, worthy of a fashion mag, the lighting is excellent. Well done author.

amazing shot! i love the urban style, simply because it is a style I wear also! It is quite popular in my city (brooklyn, ny). all the males in my family dress urban (since im a mix of jamaican and italian) - i really appreciate the urban style showcased in this fashion photography contest, thank you author for making it shine in a brilliant way!

Nice, but I think with a long row like that, it's a nice perspective and DOF to have them going off into the distance

OOOOO, OOOOO... I want to be the Ewok witch doctor!!!!!

lol i like the title..instead of brick you put grain..very good image also!

BEAUTIFUL SHOT!!

Can I be Jar Jar?

Well y'know, if I was a Ninja Turtle, you would be Splinter. If I was a Jedi, you would be Yoda, etc. lmao

You are like Yoda to me.

great idea and shot

Kinda resembles crack cocaine! LMAO

Sugar?

Really nice shot. My first guess would have been dust, but seeing the white stains on the ground I had to assume its very fine flavor.

flour? cool shot

Very cool. Interesting effect. Not precipitation, there's none on the floor. I think that I would guess it's the grain of the wood (or whatever) that's the wall it's shined up against. Would be nice to see the bottom of the flashlight included.

rain?? this is fabulous!

Great effect!!! Love it

Nice light here and texture = )

Nice one.

Well your time and patience paid off. Well done

well shot........

I like the lighting on this

ROFLMAO

Nice work

Like the cigarette

ok, had to ask.....there was no sbs, and so I wasn't sure.

hey, they said no street performers! lol just kidding

It's not selective coloring, he used tools and techniques that are allowed...

is selective coloring allowed now?

I really like the result, good luck to you

Well done, great shot.

ah ha ho ho haa haa bbbbaaaaaaa baaa baaa. Love this! Great imagination! I was just thinking that it is odd that nobody put a picture of a real black sheep in this contest. wonderful wonderful wonderful!

Congratulations!!! Have a cookie!

note: cookie is purely hypothetical.

Congrats

Fantastic shot author...well done

wonderful shot, so much emotion

Why can't you vote, Kellie? Great capture btw...

I wish I could vote on this It is awesome!

Usually I'm pretty militant about blown out exposure, but in this case I think it might actually help. The light helps emphasize the shape of the guy's head. The backlighting of the beard from it also helps a lot. He almost looks like Rasputin... the "Mad Monk!" Maybe it's "holy light." Nice job

(This shot would be no where as good if the guy had hair)
