An effective and dramatic portrait, the slight highlights and subtle lighting, while technically perfect, isn't necessarily "creative" rather than a demonstration of as a "how to" light a portrait. If this were a portraiture challenge, it would be a sure ribbon winner. However, there is nothing overly creative in this image and as such rates lower than it should - it really is a terrific image, just wrong place at the wrong time.

Fun shot. Love the expression on his face. Not sure about the highlighted temple area.
