This portrays to me emptiness and longing. It's a magical moment and I feel it is absolutely one of the best in this challenge. An instant favorite! 10

Anger Unleashed

Comment:
I suggest this represents rage, beyond anger. But that's just a play on words, not to take anything away from this fabulous shot. I like the low key exposure - hollows out those eyes and creates the right mood. 9

I like the gritty, raw look of this photo. It ain't pretty but it's effective.

The addition of the umbrella was a nice touch - adds contrast to one of the focal points of your composition.

In the Mood

Nice tones. I think your choice of lighting is interesting but a bit strong over on the right side of the photo. Have you experimented with changing the direction and the intensity? I'm thinking perhaps reducing the intensity and adding a 2nd light or reflector from the left-rear to add a bit of counter illumination.

As for the pose, hey, whatever does it for you, big guy. :P

Wow if this isn't "disturbed", nothing is! Just fantastically and deliciously gruesome. Masterful use of lighting to maximize the utilization of shadows. Intense. 10

Hey now, this would be a good entry for the Dreams challenge. It just doesn't convey ecstasy to me. Yet it's a great abstract.
