Took this shot using soft box lighting to left of camera and a white foam reflector bouncing light back from right. Shot at 250th sec. @ F11, then colour desaturated in CS3 using channel mixer. Any critique of the composition and lighting of this shot greatly appreciated.

My first thought was to crop it down so the white behind the guys head was gone.
Maybe sharpen up his eyes for some added sparkle. Cite photo!!!

I'm no expert Shaun. I just love great portrait shots that convey feeling, and this qualifies. Triffic. PAUL

I agree with both posters above. Very cool candid shot. I love the emotion in the faces. I wouldn't mind seeing a color version as well. Good job.
