Nice well lit shot Ron. Quite the contrast compared to Day 1. Superb sp. Hope the homework helped with the shoot. ;\

I can tell you really hate your work... ;-P HAHAHA! J/K...

Nicely lit photo with great tones. Seems "fairly" natural (given the subject matter & pose) and certainly entertaining. You've got the technical stuff down pat now, don't'cha!

I've tried dark portraits and I just cannot get that look that gives the image a soft lit, moodier feel. I'm afraid this image doesn't do it for me. It's well composed and your look is of someone serious and dedicated ( to what, I don't know :\ ). Looking forward to seeing the rest of that beard.

A bit on the dark side - and I see what you mean about the focus - but you do have interesting shapes of composition. You might try placing an object where your eyes are going to be (that can be difficult sometimes) and then setting the focus at that place. It takes some practice, but can work pretty well. Good luck finding your gear!

I'll agree I would like just a tad more light, but I do find the "coming out of the dark" scene to be very intriguing. Good luck finding your charger!

Comment by Louis:
I'd agree with the others that this is a tad dark, not always a bad thing mind you, but in my opinion the light, or its lack, is not used in a way that makes this shot do well. The idea is good though, because we see the start of catchlights, and the angle will have created much interest in your face. If you're seeking advice, mine might be to crank the flash up and point that SB800 at the ceiling or the wall opposite to where you want the light to hit you. It might be too soft of an effect for your taste though, judging from your choice here, but others might have been satisfied with the lit result.
