Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.
Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

This is my second shoot working on this concept. I switched to the darker jumper and found that the hood is actually smaller, so I couldn't get the shadows on my face I had originally envisaged. Given they weren't too popular perhaps that is a good thing!! I worked the light a bit more and am pretty happy with that one, with one exception, so let rip!!  This was anther one I liked while playing with just one light. I think it breaks a few rules, maybe that's why I like it.  This is the setup shop. I was sitting on the chair, camera on the tripod in the foreground, lights are SB800s atop Poon's light stands and sporting some sections of a corn flakes box to stop any light spill onto the background which is a hideously yellow wall. Must get to the paint shop... The SBs were triggered with CLS and set to the same power, about 1/64 from memory. [EDIT] The black device sitting on the chair is the sender unit of the Phottix remote available through poon which I used to fire the shutter from the chair.  Cheers.

Like the ominous feel of the first...Still think that an alley or a dark night with clouds and moon would be good background for it...

I actually have a walkway near me that fits the bill and one day when I have an assistant to help take care of all the gear I plan on giving that a go. Thanks for the comment!

I think you are getting awfully close with that second shot. I love the blacks.
