Need C&C fast!

[kami]

Hey guys! A Wushu School instructor is going to use my photo as a backdrop in their events poster in their school this coming October. Of all the photos I took this is the one he really likes. He wanted a dark theme and did not want his face to be clearly seen. Initially he wanted a silhouette theme but changed his mind.

What do you guys think? What would you do different?

If this is what he wanted and likes, I guess I wouldn't do anything different. Make the client happy, right? It's a good shot, really, though if he hadn't minded his face being in it, some fill at the front of him wouldn't have hurt.

I had a shot with a 2nd speedlight witha snoot on camera left but he said his face is too exposed. So I turned that one off and took a few more shots with just 1 speedlight camera right thru shoot thru umbrella. I'm not quite convinced about the photo that's why I'm asking advice.

I would love to share the same enthusiasm as him but I guess I'll have to honor his decision. You should have seen the look on his face when he saw this one. I was like "ummm.. yah, it's really cool!"

A little more definition on the left side (it's lost completely into the blackness) would help I think but as said above, if the client really likes it then you did the job right?
