Another Composite from the Reservoir.

Four images so that the setting is completely separate - at least at the beginning of the process. That way gave me more leeway in positioning the people. All were taken on the same shoot.
The two guys are based on a Brit TV series called Peaky Blinders - not sure if you have that where you are? The series is based on a '20's Birmingham (UK) gang of that name and is quite brutal at times. I'm thinking of entering it in the clubs monthly 'Anything Goes' competition. Your comments, critique and suggestions are always welcomed.

The lighting on the guy's face from the lighter is excellent (I swear I saw it flicker 
). The lighting on the woman looks a bit mixed up. The light's coming from her right but the right side of her face is shadowed whereas her arm and hips are lit up. But "shady" seems to be the prevailing atmosphere.

But "shady" seems to be the prevailing atmosphere.The lady’s hair, shoulder, arm and hip are protruding into the brightly lit area and hence catch the light RG. Her face is in deep shadow relieved on our right by a secondary light source that we cannot see. In reality, that’s how it was, although she wasn’t leaning against a wall (there was a studio light immediately behind and to her right). Thanks for commenting RG, it’s always appreciated.

If that shot doesn’t create a mood, I don’t know what would.

What!? The woman was not there the first time I looked ! !
This theme, a universality, can be used for many settings many stories. More than excellent. A photo telling a story to the viewer.

Your imagination and work in staging and constructing your images, magnetoman, are astounding to me! This is an intriguing, eye catching image! And it suggests many story lines for the viewers imagination.
