Self-portrait, taken with a timer. It wasn't hard to get the lighting the way I envisioned it, but getting the focus right was a pain - 95% of the shots were out of focus. Even this one could be focused a little better. I like this one, it's probably the closest manifestation from idea to photo. Only thing I couldn't achieve was the smoke. Just didn't show up so I gave up.

There will be the sweetness and light brigade who will insist you brighten this image. Do not listen. This is a great photo and reminds me of everything from James Bond to The Matrix. You did a fine job, friend. (9)
A bit more contrast would have made this one much better. The lighting is great, though. I like that sinister look. But I don't think a professional would be married. The ring doesn't fit in.
Intersting idea, I like the dark feel, but I think just a little more light would have helped to see the gun better. Plus the wedding band doesn't exactly ring true to the hit man theme :)
Use a brighter light, or possibly a silver gun, it almost works exceedingly well, but dosnt quite finish it. perhaps just more contrast, make parts vanish (noteably not the gun) and draw the other parts up more.
This could have been a very very good shot but unfortunately the eyes are just barely visible and so much in this shot, in my opinion, rests on his expression and because you can´t really make it out (my monitor is calibrated, by the way) it loses a lot of impact. Anyway, what I am trying to say is that I like this shot a lot but feel that it really didn´t hit the target, but definately keep it up, this is very promising.
