Comment by Louis:
Nothing too much to be said about the light, except maybe the demonic catchlights taking out the pupils and a slightly flat look, though it could be argued this is a fine example of a kind of "butterfly" lighting, but that's usually more suited to pretty and delicate faces which, I'm sorry to tell you, you ain't got. ;-) I think technically the lighting is good, particularly considering you're wearing a visor over your eyes and they're well lit. You're not separated from the background at all, which is a big minus for me. In my view some context in the form of texture and shadows or shaped light back there is needed. The pose is great.

Well lit. Nice pose with the body angled away from the camera. Well done.

great light, but maybe composing it differently? ROT maybe? But its a good shot non-the-less.

Work on them creases and clean that hat:) Nice work Mike. Focus on your eyes could be better. The lighting is good. Have fun with your exercise. Sorry, still don't miss it.

Your left eye is a little shadowed, but minor detail IMO... your light is not flat, and that is a good thing... I still would like to see a lil light on the bg, just to show that you aren't floating in the abyss... You might find this interesting. Apologies if you have seen it before :)

Getting your way is what its all about L()L. Nice clean portrait and balance of shadows/light. It can sometimes be very difficult when there is a brim covering the eyes. Nice work.

The red tones seem a little strong to me, I like the lighting & use of negative space.

Interesting use of negative space. I like it. I do agree with the comment about a little more space on the left (but not much).

I very much like the lighting. I do think a little more space on the left would be nice. Good luck for having a better day tomorrow. :)
