Just doesn't appeal. The quality of the shot is good but there are too many iconic symbols - the hat, the guitar, the upturned shirt collar, the jazzy tie. I want to believe this guy plays but I don't. Sorry!

Nice composition. Love the guitar position. Nice lighting alhtough overall exposure could be a little lighter.

I'd like to see a bit more light on the dark side of his face - nicely posed though!

having a black guitar on a black backgroung makes this really tough. maybe a white background would be better with the black hat and guitar.

This guy looks familiar, but the soul patch is obviously fake. :P

You'll want to turn the sharpening down. You can see white halos on her chest (edge of shirt), on her eye and where her hand touches her head.

I think the background light is kinda cool ... but other than that, this one doesn't do it for me (pose, angle, composition, etc).

Comment by dwterry:
The placement of the lights on this one is just wrong. You're using two lights coming in from two different sides. This creates confusion by having shadows going in two different directions. I suggest you have one main light off to the side. And then the fill light you put right back where the camera is (up above but straight back). That way the fill light won't create shadows of it's own.
