My 4 yr old nephew is constantly pulling faces like this. Single light source was from my flash. Not sure if DPC'ers will like this one, but i love it. It kinda reminds me of a horror film or something like that. I added a little grain to try and make it feel a bit scarier if that makes any sense. Converted to black and white. I guess time will tell how it goes :)

I'm so tickled that I got your image, Lisa!! {{{hugs}}}
This is really a neat capture, despite it's shortcomings during the voting stage of the challenge. I see where you're going with it...the scary movie look. Your choice of b/w and the grain are totally working for me. The light is a bit too harsh and does wash out his features around the eyes and bridge of the nose, but still, it adds to the ambience IMHO.
I think that this is one of those images that is great on its own, but is just not very voter-friendly. They look for pop, wow, and either a great story or fabulous color. This one you really have to study to appreciate, and voters simply don't take that kind of time.
Keep shooting and let me know if you have any questions! :)
