Did you want to post an image that is 6 stops underexposed ?

Yes this is the way it was intended.

you sure have a way with CC...ever been a college prof?

Maybe if you explained what you like about the image or what you were going for you would get some worthwhile feedback. I'm not sure what your after. It looks like an underexposed pic to me. Sometimes you need to guide us towards your vision

it feels like the pic was going for a depressed/dark feeling, but ithink it would have benefitted from being a lil more properly exposed and then executing the feeling in PP

Cool, interesting, dark, i see you

It doesnt really do much for me.

your subject definately doesn't look like he's had a good week. it looks like you're trying to express that he isn't happy. you've gotten that far. I might suggest a more dramatic light set-up

I see a very dark exposure.

A definition from About.Photography:

Low key pictures concentrate on the darker tones, often conveying an atmosphere of tension or a powerful deep strength. This ha sometimes been use for male portraits, though more often a fuller tonal range with hard lighting is used.

Although low key often uses high contrast lighting, most of the subject is likely to be in shadow, with relatively small areas brightly lit.

I am going to reshoot with more light. And BTW yes I used to be a college professor. For real

You don't need to re-do the session. Just work it in Photoshop ... it will look cool. I'll post an example if it's ok.

It actually does come up quite nicely in Photoshop. I really like it. The image is nicely executed, you've caught a great expression and the overall darkness fits quite nicely. What is the background?

The background is just something I got on ebay.
