I'm pretty bummed, but I still wanted to try my idea and post it up. I really enjoy the challenges because they force me to expand my thoughts on photography. Feel free to leave comments, I always appreciate them. I'm also making my way through the entrants and will leave comments where I can.

The shadow on your nose in the 2nd emphasize the shape of it.
In neither one are both eyes visible.
So... finally a face to go with the name? Awesome..
I like the first shot better.. The second one is ok, but I am not fond of the spoke looking like it is going up "into" his nose.. However, I like the profile and view of your face in the #2nd one, gotta love that serious look in your eye...
I am big on shadow play.. and I love what you did in #1 with the shadows on the wall.. My only nit is that I would have preferred a completed half shadow across the face, instead of the semi-circle shadow that fills in toward the nose.....
Bummer you missed the deadline.. but nice work all the same...

Edit: I just now noticed the Joe in your signature.. I have never noticed it before.. Well, I am so used to calling you Silver, I am going to have to re-train myself.. haha..
When it comes to human form, I really like shadow-play and low-key stuff too
Should be in the game for DSS#31. I've been racking my brain since Monday.
