I really like this. I think the the reflective pose/expression is great and the lighting is good (although I agree that there are a couple of spots where the glare could be toned down with the heal/blend brush). There are a couple of spots on the scarf that are not desaturated (oversights when desaturating?). Otherwise, terrific job.
this shot is very nice. the light is very balanced and the pose is wonderful. The black and white conversion is great. the only thing I can "rip apart" is very little. the glare on his nose and on his hair are a little distracting. the hair light is suppose to be there but it's a little close, remember hair is reflective. the reflection on his nose could be taken out with the healing brush. other than all of that I would just run them through a double high pass sharpen and print. I'm sure the model loved this image
