Taken in my high school's theatre. This is basically my home. The guy in the picture is my buddy Scott, him and I have done a lot of work (in the theatre) together, he's an awesome guy and an even better actor.
Had some real problems with noise in this (shot at too high an ISO - dumbass), but it ended up not too bad, but still not great, but didn't have time to reshoot!
How it does alright.

I really like the shot...and the black and white works well with it...the only thing I don't like is the subject looking directly at the camera..I think it would have been more powerful had he been looking the other way. I like the light too. 8

This picture really qualifies for the Challenge since it is clealry a man alone on a stage (with no audience) and sums up the feeling of loneliness

very well done. captures the emotion of performance anxiety nicely. I like the long shadow particularly.

Great idea! I like the choice of black and white, really brings out the starkness of the image and I've noticed it helps enhance the feelings of solitude or loneliness. The perspective is great, I don't like the border though, seems too much. I wish the lighting wasn't quite so glaring on the right side of the person, but that's a little concern really. Very nice capture. 8

The stage can be a lonely place. Good idea

great shot - would have done well in the lighting or shadow comps as well. Like the shadow, and use of negative space. Looks like the subject is looking at the camera - my only suggestion would be to have him look down or out into "emptiness" to help convey "alone" more (read: if he's looking at you - he's not really all that alone with you there - but if he's not looking at you - we the viewer have to give some willing suspension of disbelief that he is alone). Nice work. 9.
