This isn't the sort of thing I would normally do, but I was fairly bored!
Thoughts appreciated.

The lighting is cool! feels like too much free space on the left to me maybe but I think maybe a little glimps of detail on the left might help. Good job though, defintely a fun way to pass time:)

I think the lighting is great, nice shot. :)

What was your set up?

Just a plain old lamp. Hence the the bad lighting on the one side. I was just experimenting, so it's not meant to be a great pic. But filled in some time as someone mentioned!

I like it but agree a tad bit more light on the left would make it better.

I'm starting to think that too. Unfortunately it was shot at a high ISO, so PP would just make it grainy.

I like your lighting to be different but I would like to see it cropped a little tighter on the dark side.. good idea though
