Interesting idea. I would have moved my light source between my subject and the wall to prevent that distracting hot spot in the lower right corner. Would have been nice if you had been able to do something to balance out the grain in the area of light falloff gradation which simply looks noisy and grainy rather than stylized. I realize that this was done intentionally, but because this is the only place that this shows up in the picture in any quantity, I believe it does not add to the picture. Better to find other ways to accomplish the gradation.
You may have been going for a 'halo' look, but I don't see anything notable there that specifically adds anything to the picture in my view.
I personally would also have taken a stab at darkening the shadows (via curves or contrast). This could have had an effect on the cast of the yellows, brightening and remvoing a lot of the warmth, so I might also have just left it in.
I've been doing a lot of experimentation on low-light photos and shadowy scenes taken with P&S cameras with terrible low-light performance, so I'm not entirely speaking out my @$$ on this. I am not an expert though, so feel free to take this with as much salt as you wish.
I would have given the pic a 4. |

| Good idea and nice colours. I would have liked the "gun" a bit clearer. |

| Nice idea, nice pose, nice "execution." Simple and effective shadowplay - I like it. |
