Greetings from the Critique Club...

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 5 or 6.

My first impression is that I like the balanced composition, and overall dark colours. I'm not sure the hair style adds to the photograph, but it doesn't take away from it either. You finished with a decent score, but I think that there were other photographs in the challenge that better demonstrated "fill flash". So while you did have a fill flash shooting up at the model, the overall feel of the photograph is that of fairly balanced lighting. To increase your score, I think a more dramatic light source might be needed. Keep up the good work.

If you need any clarification on any of my comments, please feel free to pm me. It might take some time for me to get back to you.

This model is a ham(let). Nice shot, even though I find the monochrome black and white check and pattern dressing style pretty lousy, and not very photogenic- but it works for you. good luck.

The picture is very well taken; As for theme, I guess the purpose is to use flash for fill and not as the only light source. 7.

Fantastic picture, funny but I have a friend who looks just like this guy, obviously without the staggered hair / beard. Hope this does well.
