I think this is the most successful of the "set up" shots. I just love the play of light among those deep dark tones... and the stolid classic composition... with the face perfectly lit.
This is absolutely among my favourites in this challenge. If the goal was to "copy" Mark's style, then I think it should be a little bit brighter, but as a "Mark's inspired" image it's great! (Hope that made sense!) Voted earlier.
