Wow. Really nice. I like the effect a lot.
Lighting is everything here. I think that the projector provided enough light to effectively see the person, and not too much light, so that it still stays mysterious. I think however, that I would have prefered a more 'green' section to be on the face. Or at least a different pattern, so that there are not 2 really dark vertical stripes right in the middle. I realize that this helps the mystery feeling, but just seems too stripe-y. Maybe if the lettering were scattered instead?
The color seems really good. Green was a popular choice for this challenge. I feel like I'm in the green challenge all over again.
Focus and clarity seem really good on the person. I wonder how this would hold up if you could have gotten some of the lettering in focus as well. Maybe at least the larger lettering that is closest, and then have the smaller, farther away ones out of focus.
The angle and framing/cropping work well here. Simple but effective. Good crop, I don't feel that it's too close, or that there is too much neg. space. I think it's right on the money.
Really nice job.

Great image. I like the way you used the light to add a matrix effect to the image. The sunglasses help too! But very nice quality and clarity as well.

I had the same idea, but no projector. I think that the two dark band on the face doesn't help.
