 Last minute photo. Taken on my way home from work 2 hours before rollover. It was dark so I planned to setup flashes for the shot but decided to try a long exposure and I liked the result.

Good workmanlike photo. Good eye for the composition. Technicals are all good. But in the end, it doesn't make me linger.

The concept and execution work well together here, but the story is incomplete. There is an overall softness which, along with the deep mysterious shodows and intriguing colors, creates an appropriate mood. But there is no context. In a wider shot, cold and impersonal may work, but when I'm already this close I want to know more. A prop or other element may help to finish this shot.

This almost has the feel of being a set in a stage play. A bit contrived, perhaps, and for some reason I get the impression the loss was a basketball game that the home team didn't win.

The model seems a bit too posed... It doesn't seem very natural. But really great colors.
