Wow Herman, I really appreciate your control of light here. No stark flash evidence noted on my screes and lots of feather detail.

I think the lighting here makes this a very attractive shot!

Excellent headshot. I would move him more left in the frame.

Very nice portrait, Herman. I think I would prefer just a tad less flash here, but this is not a nit.
