A nice silhouette, you have made good use of your lighting all I would like to have seen is a background with less creases in it (IMHO) :o)

It lacks clarity & contrast for me, but I like what you were going for.

Nice composition and colors. The light on the chin is a bit harsh

I'd like this to be a bit sharper and also, the light on the underside of the chin takes away from the silouette effect to me.

Nice idea! I whish the background would be brighter to increase contrast.

Nice capture. I am distracted a bit by the light on the chin, but overall a good take on the challenge.
