This is my husband, Jack. I'd like to thank him very much for letting me take this unflattering picture. He really doesn't look quite this wrinkled up and grizzled. The editing emphasized the wrinkles.

Nicely done. I'd crop so you can't see the shirt and he's more of a "floating head." You could do a selective color adjustment in basic and up the black and that'd create less distraction by the white of the plaid.
I like the lighting and it certainly fits the challenge. 7
