		[img] tags are used with hyperlinks to images hosted off-site.  Images hosted here on DPC can be linked using the [thumb] and [/thumb] tags.  I just fixed it for you.  :)

		What do you think about this?
 
  
 
 ETA: I adjusted the two things that bothered me. I evened out the lighting (more fill light less harsh direct light) and removed the hairs that was covering his eye. Now that I look at it some more I'm not liking the whites too much.

		Another version:
 
  
 
 I tweaked the highlights (curves) and did a little dodging.

		Hey cool! Thank you! I like that last version better. How did you get the lighting fixed for his face?

 A curves adjustment (auto) and afterwards I spot edited the face with the dodge tool (highlights at about 24%).
