Isaac and Sensei Mark staged this for me after class.
I knew under the lighting conditions I'd have to use the highest ISO setting and that it would be noisy, so I planned on making the "grain" part of the composition, and to go with a B&W or toned look.

ah man, i see you may be new to this? a few pointers:
1. way way too much grain, its super distracting
2. the picure looks like a snapshot of friends
3. the use of turning the image into a negative,
really makes this image negative in my eyes, i dont like it.
4. the overhead light is very distracting.
Hope this helped, and keep trying!
LOL Anyone else find this kind of ironic figuring he's on site council?
:P

the use of grain, high contrast, and backlighting to give an almost etching like feel works pretty well - i am just not completely convinced on the light positioning in the image
I think you went to some effort taking this picture, but to my tastes it's too over processed, and I don't really like the effects you've presented. I think this would have been much better in its natural state i.e. without all the processing.
