I was originally going to enter the clown contest. However, that photo did not turn out so well... So this was the next best thing. My little brother is the model in this shot. I used a small light to light up the book and ambient light from outside to light up his face. I also used a reflector to bounce the light to the other side of his face as well. My father led both the small light and the reflector how I wanted them.

I really like that you used the reflection instead of trying to get rid of it. A touch more of the left side of his face might have been good, but it's good work, regardless of my minor quibble.
interesting and original idea (a 6 for that). not satisfied with the tecnicals:
the reflected image is not so clear.
left eyes's lashes have something on that grabs my attention.
lighting is ok but still a bit too flat for my taste.
bg color (blueish gray) does not add to the composition
