Tribute to Sin City.

I shot this with my new camera, I needed a dramatic light source so I bought a 100W lightbulb, cut a hole in the bottom of a cylindrical Pringles box, hung it above my head, had a friend apply a bit of dramatic make-up and shot on timer.

The model in the pic is me. I tried to use as little Photoshop as possible, the only post-editing was a slight colour tone-down.

Good picture. Not sure of the title. There is not much of a back alley. Not that it really makes a difference.

Great shot! I hope this does well. I like the unusual composition and perspective. Lighting is good, too. I hope you don't get in trouble for the border style. Good luck.

This is very strong! Ilike it very much. I think it may have had even more impact if the subject wasn't dead center -- using more of the rule-of-thirds concept. I love it anyway tho. Great job.
