What I really like about this shot is how you achieved the opposite shadowing in each of the models faces..... this photo gives me an eerie feeling .. as in gothic horror rather than gothic fashion and that's a good thing - I am not sure why you choose to have the buttons on his jacket in crisp focus and their faces not. might have been more effective the other way around... your exposure is great - good job!
Very good tribute, or perhaps parody. Oddly enough, in spite of it having more overtly "gothic" cues than the original, the effect is actually less starkly gothic. I think it may be the lower point-of-view, which establishes a less confrontational impact than the Wood painting. But so what; this is a very interesting and well processed image. 7.
