Excellent exposure for the light here - love all the darks. You'll note that your work appears quite often in the Posthumous Awards thread. See the PostLumie award... :-) While that may not equate to a high score at DPC, it DOES mean that your work is appreciated!
Great take on the challenge. I love dark b/w photos and this one just keeps me busy. That's ok in my book because your subject it lit well, makes its point, but then there's others goodies too look at. Nicely done.
