 So my wife bailed on me and i was left doing this challenge on my own.:-/

Anyway, this was shot with a 50mm lens and 3 lights.
One LP120 in a reflective silver umbrella to the right and above me. One Canon 580EX sitting on the fridge for the left kicker and one LP120 on a stand to the right for the right kicker. A lot of timer shots later... ugh. Need a remote release.

Is the focus of this image the color/tie or the watch? I like this photo, but I really thought it was about the watch until I saw the title. The message needs to be clearer. Also, you might have considered not cutting off his eyes OR cutting his eyes out completely: it's strange to see half of his eyes. The dramatic lighting is well-done, and the use of color in this image is really good.

nice lighting and bold shapes - I find the eye a bit distracting - Need more of it or gone all together

Nice shot, though the pose seems kind of "forced" 7

very well done shot, good color match, but cropping could be improved, either you should left the eyes, o cut face so that only lips and chin were visible 8

very nice lighting the shadows fit the sinister ness. I also like the contrast of the red against black/white and the tight crop works well here.
