What a great high contrast and brooding portrait!

The brighter lighting on the hand than the face makes this the focus of the image for me. Was that you intent? It would be even more dramatic for me if the hand was burned in and the dark eyes were the focus.

It's a great gritty image!

I changed my mind. I like the hand exactly the way it is.

I really like the intensity of this image

For me this is an excellent shot, but the overuse of the darkness is too Tim Burtonesque... and I unfortunately mean that in a negative way. Burton uses dark as a means to cheat in his films... he can get away with less focus on the details because no one can see much of the film anyway. I feel the same about this image... i wish there were less dark... but the image itself is wonderful.

totally disagree with lange, its the darkness that creates the light, which makes light visible...

This is fantastic! The lighting, the texture, the model. Excellent. Totally deserves to be featured on the home page. Great job!

I dig it and I don't at the same time. It's moody, that part I like, but the eye sockets being so dark seem to take away from this particular frame. The contrast is a bit extreme but works well. The profile of the image seems to take away from it a big, focusing in on such a dark image, faming off with the head, neck, a hint of the shoulders, and the hand might have made for an even more powerful image.
