I have to say, your portraits have _significantly_ improved in the past year or two. Way to go!
Who's doing makeup? That's awesome, too.

Every time I look at this one, I can't get over how much this model resembles (IMO) a younger, thinner, George Michael. Does anyone else see that?

Thanks for all the comments. It is good to be back. I will be entering a little more this year due to a late evening bet with Pedro and Kosmikreeper :)

It is a continuous light ring flash we used extensively at the Europe workshop/GTG this year. You can get amazing effects with it, look at a lot of photos in the GTG thread.

Congratulations Gary! This image has some kind of unconscious appeal (in addition to the obvious pull) that I can't quite put my finger on. Beautiful work (as always).

Great shot. Congrats on the ribbon. Would you mind letting me know which ring flash you used? Always wanted to try this kind of lighting, but never quite got which flash worked for portrait and on which didn't

Great portrait, lighting is amazing. Looks like a Londoner to me. He should be in modelling. Tell him from me. Best of luck in your future Photo work. I shall watch you closely for future sucesses

The super-boldness of the eyebrows kind of distract me, and the light in the eyes as well a tad, but this is still a 10 in my book. I love how it's obviously coming from a photo, but still taking advantage of the expert rules. Colors and textures are great and there is so much mystery and emotion.

This is a great photo with a great model and lighting effects. I like the background, it gives the effect of an old run down version of society that has been taken over by technology. Definitely top 5 in my opinion. 8

I like this concept, nice and simple, however, I don't care for the ringlight in his eyes. Also, for some reason, the cords look off to me, as if they might have been added after the shot was taken. The gold moreso than the other.

The sort of shot perfect for a ring flash. I like the fact that you didn't too much to the image to achive the result. Not sure about the bit where the texture is going through his hair and left bottom.
I think it's quite good.
