This is the shot I was going for. You managed to use the back lighting to highlight some the the metal and yet the foreground still has detailed even though it is heavily shadowed. I want to do that!
face is too dark.. cant see much of the guy.. its in the mid between clear and silhoutte.. doesnt do it justice.. can see the watch better than the face
Seems a bit blown in places and a bit underexposed in others, but they seem to balance each other out. I like the high contrast feel and the take you had on the challenge.
the composition of this shot is great! the overexposure/contrast makes the model's face appear blotchy, though, even after playing with monitor settings.
