This is real good. Pretty much ten worthy in my book except for the definite line of demarcation in the hair light. Why doesn't it wrap around your shoulders? It just stops dead above the shoulder. Everything else is perfection!!!
Agreed, conquering freedom of speech can be a pretty painful move :D
As a fellow bearded man, I feel your pain.
I am very incompetent at studio lighting, but it looks like it was pretty tough to balance things so to protect detail everywhere. Great job with the jacket and silver tape, but the skin seem to have suffered a bit in the process (unless the harshness/posterization was intentional. The rim light on the hair works well but it also look like it was abruptely cut at the bottom.
You have some pretty good drammatic light setups in your portfolio, I wonder how this pose would have worked with one of them.
But I like it, good job!
Is that a real cut over the eyebrow or just really spectacular makeup??? I like the passion in this image, although next time, make sure the hair light is higher so it doesn't create such truncated shadows at the shoulders
