 Classic head and torso portrait. I'm wearing my good old unit ball cap. Another long day. There are going to be a lot of those. But, I got my way on one issue against a guy who's really hard to get anything out of.

Hit me hard on the technicals. This was one of two shots that I took for tonight I didn't use the other because I just didn't like the pose.

Really well-lit and detailed. The shadow from the peak of the cap adds some depth yet doesn't overpower in any way.

i like this one,except your right arm seems amputated (i guess i should say "too close to the body") other than that this is well done.

You look very different with a hat on. Nice job with the lighting. You didn't lose the black hat in the black background.

You look great. I would try to tone down the red on your face a little. I like you in uniform! My husband is retired USAF- I love that pickle suit!

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.
