 My last submission to "Personification" was so awful that I've been in depression since I saw the first scores. As a captain of WPL team Icebreakes I was failing my team badly! My friend Hjalti volunteered to model for me for the "Bad" theme so I could save my reputation. Don't know if it will but it score any worse than my last entry.

Used a large octagonal softbox for lighting. Had a second light with a snoot behind him on the right but it missed his on this frame :)

I have a high contrast settings saved in Rawshooter witch I call "Hestur" (a horse) since I made the settings originally for a horse picture :) The submitted image is almost unaltered from the RAW converter. I did some contrast enhancement via USM and did also sharpen for the web using USM. I also added the tiniest doze og shadow/higlight.

Great concept, but for me, the glove ruins it. A guy like that doesn't need to keep his hands clean. (7, would have been 8 without the glove)
