Does this need a hairlight?

Not feeling this shot. That shadow being cast on his forehead from his hair looks bad. his pose looks rigid too.

The shadow (which I completely missed first time around, thanks!) is really bothering me, but the pose is deliberate; the whole idea was superiority and power projection.

Im not getting that. Im getting rigid and uncomfortable in front of the camera. This is a pretty decent looking guy with good strong features to begin with. He needs to be projecting confidence. And people who are confident look relaxed because they know what they are doing and how to take care of business.

Would you buy @$$hole boss then? I understand what you mean, but I don't agree; I'm seeing this exactly as I wanted, pose-wise at least. That's not to say it is right, but it worked out as I envisioned it.
