I'm not going to beat you up about the composition and angles, you've gotten enough of that, but I will mention the flag...

Use great care when using the flag (of any nation) in photos such as this. Any minor thing can be considered a slight or a display of disrespect, unless you intend to be disrespectful of a flag - such a political commentary, but I don't see that as the case here. More likely, it was a convenient backdrop.

One more thing, when the US flag is displayed dismounted (not on a flag pole), the field of stars must be on the left without regard to orientation (vertical or horizontal).

This WAS a good image.
I think the processing was too heavy handed. I find myself spending more time thinking about what was done to the image than I do about the image itself.

I love that movie!

Good lighting. Did you use a grid for this or is that a flashlight?

Color noise isn't doing this shot any favors, but the funky color balance give sit a retro feel...ugh...I'm conflicted...do I ding for the noise or applaud the happy accident found in the color scheme?

Good image, well composed, but the highlights are way blown out.
