i feel like there has been a very slight motion blur applied to this image and it's kind of unsettling. pretty good lighting, though, especially in the highlights in the glasses and the texture and color the hair. 6.
The focus seems a bit off on the man. Not sure why. I like your idea but maybe put the lighting more towards the side to create more shadows. Good luck.
