Bit halo-ey (HDR?) but I like it.

Great portrait with good expression. I like the light coming from the right.

A bit harshish, but not by much - maybe 1/4 power with something to reflect a bit of light on the unlit side? Then again, I have absolutely no clue what I'm talking about - I don't even own an external flash let alone standalone units! :-) From a portraiture standpoint, I like the expression - he makes a good subject. From a lighting standpoint, your submission last week is much softer, nicer.

He sure looks comfortable in front of the camera, and you've captured it well. I like the relaxed pose and B&W conversion, but would prefer the light to be a bit more even.

I like his expression. You captured good detail, and think it's a very nice portrait. The only thing that detracts, in my opinion, is the shadow of the lamp just to the left of his face.

If I knew the song, I'd probably understand some of this a little more lol. I love that tea set but I think you needed a lighter background or a backlight so that the tea pot did not get lost. I do love looking around at all the elements in disarray. You'll have to fill me in on the ripped up flower, tho lol.

Oooooh the 50 1.4 is the next on my list.

Lighting here is beyond excellent, so soft I can't picka fault here! Very nice model, nice gradual background blur too all works well

Nice to see you experimenting with lighting positions! I would love to get to opportunity to do the same at some point =]

Good lighting overall, the only thing spoiling a lil would the dark shadow under his nose and neck... carry on working with the lights I think you are onthe right path to master lighting!
