Went for the B&W feel, probably as I'm doing the 30day B&W side challenge :)
Not completely happy with the lighting but found it hard to light the setup with what I had to hand. I may reshoot this before submission but if you are reading this line then I guess I didn't :)
Name seemed like a fair idea for a band, wonder if there was a better setup for porn? Mind you just having the words porn and drugs in there will probably generate a good handful of 1's so best not to push it ;)

the moment I saw you image I scroleld down to the voting breakdown to find out how hard you had been hit the frump-trolls. Only two 1s is a good starting point. On the whole I think the shot did well. I personally am not really getting an album cover feel, but I find it hard to put my finger on why.
Composition-wsie it looks as if you have executed your concept effectively. The main area for improvement seems to be the quality of the lighting, and the mix of noise-control and sharpness. Lighting is an area where (I am assured) you will never stop learning. In this case I think large diffused light sources would have helped. It may be worth your effort to download NoiseNinja or NeatImage (you can get the demo version of Neat Image free).
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
I had to go on the internet to find out what I thought "Rizla" was a label on one of the videotapes -- I had to go on the internet to find out what it means. :-)
Funny depiction. The lighting is not spot on - too many shadows floating around. Maybe you could have double diffused the light, or used a larger light source? I like the processing though.
Font = amazing. I think the band Like Summer used or used to use it, and... hm wait a minute, I think they might have even used the dot things too. Weird... 'cause it's not a very well-known band.
my english is very bad and my memory even but I remember sex,drugs and rock and roll.:) the rizla and the jack daniels are classics. perhaps the vhs may be changed with a more evident sex symbol. The photo is good.
