    I choose to live my life to a different tune of music., one which is not censored or wrapped so much with a blanket of over -regulation, Health & Safety gone mad, fear and blind compliance to anything you are told to do...........

    Amazing job !!!
    Great ambiance to go with the title and mood of the person seated on the bed

    I do not think all the wall on the right is needed , but it doesn't hurt ... perhaps you kept it so it is a standard size ?

    It works VM, though I think that the strategic light streaks could be better placed. I agree that all that negative space on the right is too much. This one really cries for a significant zooming in around the subject.

    I think the negative space plays an important role here. I find the guy too centered though so perhaps you could crop out some of the wall on the right?

    Re: Everyone Left, Apart From Him

    The cropping issue here is a delicate one. If you take, say, half off the wall on the right, you centre your subject. Even so, on balance, I think it would be better to do so. Having said that, it is a moody and beautifully taken and produced image. Your use of light is masterful.

    Cheers

    You could always square format it and remove some of the wall on the right as the others mention. I agree that you certainly control the lighting very well.

    Cut half of the wall on the left and there you have it, a perfect reanimation of Scissor hands! :thumbsup:
