Very nice how you backlit the afro with talcon powder/flour? hehehehe It's a great outtake on the challenge, although I don't find the angle of the model too pleasing, wish he's body was turned just a lil bit more towards the camera so I can see more of his left eye... that eyeball is very hidden? Just my thoughts no major penalties anyway lol 9
An attack of the blackpox - the latest biological weapon? Seriously, a cute idea, and the very small areas of red around the eyes don't stop you from meeting the challenge IMHO.
LOL! The name for this photo gave me a chuckle! Very original idea, love the detail in the subject's eyes, the background is perfect for the dark hair. Good luck!
