Hi James,
Nice capture, I like the creative nature of the image. The sence of motion in the hands is nicely done. For me the image seems a little dark for my taste & the brightness in the background just seems to clash with the overall image. The table & chips are nice but a bit soft for me. I think with a few minor ajustments this would be a dynomite image.

Great drama and spookiness to this photo. I was one of your 8s.

I really like the shadow covering half his face. The white light thing behind him is a bit distracting - I think the photo would be even more powerful without it.

Way too soft....motion blur is good but his eye loses me.

Great lighting, and the soft focus is really effective with the overall mood of the image
