This shot is interesting. Well done for having a go at something a little different. I can see the effort in setting the lighting up. At first it feels a bit hard on the eye but the more I look at it the more I'm drawn to the centreline of the subjects face. The image seems to split my perception if I stare at it. Not the most comfortable experience but interesting and challenging. In the end the subject's eyes start to draw the focus. Thanks for the challenge to my perception.
I find humor in the title. Or maybe because it's 5:21am here and I'll probably end up voting on every image this morning before going to bed. You are #152. Image lacks sharpness and red on face seems harsh and overexposed. Btw, black and white make gray... I know, I know.. it's late.
