nice job on the lighting ... adds drama ... I would probably have gone for a tighter crop... (my 2 cents) good luck

A LITTLE more tonal range might have been nice. 6

Nice partial illumination, but .too sharp a cut off between light and dark for me.

Interesting lighting in this picture , but i am missing a bit of a fill light on the left side. I know you wanted to have the strong contrast , still I think it would have been a better picture if you would have painted with light to achieve a little bit more of a 3D effect. However nicely shot !

Some may disagree but I like the "half moon" lighting effect!
