 I setup the shot left of center. I wanted contrast. I did not want even lighting. I think even lighting is over done and easy to do.

The light on this subject is over balanced to the left and with the offset subject, creates a slightly negative effect on the viewer. The lighting is not well controlled as there are light blooms and color fades which is probably the result of relying on the camera's spot meter to set the image parameters. A little more thought and positioning, plus the use of a light meter would have helped.
