Jethro,
Nice pose and good composition - nice and tight. Exposure seems to be spot on as well.
What lens and aperture settings did you use for this? My guess is kit lens, wide open.
I think it's either a tad soft, or still slightly misfocussed. Look at the facial hair on the
model's forhead, which is where I think the focal point is.
By way of contrast, the
models eyelashes come across to me as a tad soft.
Some of this may well be due simply to the resizing process, of course; could you perhaps post a small crop of just the
model's eye - the one that's closest to the camera.
On the lighting, it's quite direct and undiffused. SB800?
It might be worth trying to soften it a touch by either using a diffuser over the front of the light source, or by bouncing it off another surface.
