Critique. First of all good focus and white balance! However, the image is almost two stops underexposed. His shoulders are turned so far away from the camera that there is not a solid base for his head to rest on. The lighting is from overhead skylight which leaves dark shadows in the eyesockets (Raccoon eyes) but highlights his nose. The camera position was rather low as we can see up his nostrils.
All of these points are from a professional standpoint and one would not expect you to even know most of these things.

Holy WOW! Benji Thank you so much for telling me all this! I'm glad that my white balance and focus is good (because I've been a bit worried about it being 'off'), it's a relief to know I'm getting better at it!
Like kelticsol, I do have to wonder how do you know if something is underexposed? Is there a way you can tell or possibly a way to check it before you take the image? I know these are probably really green questions but they're something I've been a little stumped by to begin with. Any input on that would be lovely
For lighting on the go (aside from the obvious flash) what do you suggest?
Thank you so much again Benji - I
really appriciate the thought, time and effort you put into this crit <3 !
