I like it! :thumbup: (I'm a woman of few words today)

I like it too (man of few words, me too).
Perhaps, but only perhaps, I could prefer some less black on right.

Thanks for the feedback, everyone!

The darkness was what I was going for in this shot. Set it up so there was just enough light to bring out the eye and just barely illuminate the side of the face, while having a really soft bokeh effect on the left.

Do you what would have been really good, some smoke blowing out of his mouth/nose. Not a very good example i know, but i think it would've looked cool.

I think I'll save that idea for an outdoor shot. Thanks for the idea, though!

in fact,bokeh is very nice and contrasts the dark side of the picture. Which lens?

IMO, it needs to be sharpened, and some of the black cropped off the right.
What was in the background behind his lips and chin?
I cropped so his eye is right on the upper right ROT power point. and I globally sharpened it (USM - 150, 0.5, 0).

Hmm, you know I'm not really sure what's behind his lip/chin area, to be honest. That's our mini Christmas tree to the left, and there's nothing in that area by where he was now. I never noticed it--thanks for pointing it out. And great edit, Keith.
