One if by land, two if by sea. But where's the horse? I like the light and rich color it produces. The face is dramatically lit and the expression clear. The checked shirt provide us little hints of where the rest of the subject is.
This is really a great shot! I love the lighting! My only nit pik that I can see is that it is way too plastic looking. Skin needs texture. Especially in dramatic lighting. I have been guilty of overusing neat image myself. But still an 8 from me great job!
It looks light you may have fought a battle of noise with this shot... perhaps a bit too much of what I refer to as the neatimage effect. All in all I like the effect of the lighting and setup ...
