Composition
I like the tall crop but the composition does seem possibly a tiny bit too centred, with the eye almost right in the middle both vertically and horizontally.

Technical stuff (exposure, dof, lighting etcâ€Â¦)
I love the lighting, leaving one side of the face very dark. The shallow dof gives a very soft look.

Meeting the challenge
Yeah, very nicely lit.

Post-processing
I'm not sure if it was PP work or if it was due to the lighitng, but his chin seems to stand out against his chest more than it should, which makes it a little disjointed.

My personal opinion
I haven't decided if I like this style or not - I'm used to seeing portraits very sharp, and this is much more coft and dreamy. If you achieved that effect through NI I wouldn't like it,but I think I;m growing to love it. His expressin is certainly perfect.

Very nicely done, Tim! Exposure is perfect and I love that the reflections are pristine. Well worth the re-shoot as evidenced by your hints on the score. I'm glad you got the angle and perspective you wanted this time!

Great capture, not much I can say about improving this, maybee the lights on the left are a little distracting, but that is being exceedinly picky

Maybe it is easy being green.

I love the perspective of this shot! I also like how his face is nice and clear, and (it appears) the rest was selectively edited to glow and softened. The catchlights in his eyes are excellent. Focus looks great and the even lighting on the subject is very nice. I enjoy the vivid colors, since I associate it with vibrancy and youth.
