Congratulations on the awards. This is an amazing shot - composition, lighting, detail are spot on. A black subject against a black background is almost impossible to bring off but you did it with that wonderful lighting.

Amazing shot. It somehow reminds me of the color palette of Kamen (Masked) Rider Black :D
