Gotta love props! I had some things dropped off at my house today for a shoot scheduled tomorrow and I had to play around with them. This was done with one softbox (because my fill light didn't fire) that was about 12 inches away.

This is awesome. I love how the shadows make you look so buff and muscular -- not that you probably aren't under any condiditions -- but this really enhances that look! Perfect for this shot!!
idnic? good to see a black background instead of a white one. Seems like just a touch too much glow here. Otherwise, you've really captured the feel of a "boxing shot." Oh, except for the make-up. Vanity, thy name is Self Portait! 6
In my opinion, there is just enough grain in this picture.
the lighting is good.
the squished up face bothers me a little.
but i guess it's to be expected with that helmet on.
