Hair light is a little too high and off angle casting a shadow from

the ear. Other than that comments welcomed.

Don't ask me why. I don't really know; but this picture jumps. This one is a keeper! Congrats. 5 for originality and 7 for the compelling sight. :-)

After rating your pic, I left the "Rate Recent Photos" session and called up your page with this pic and copied it to PS and gave it an idea of my own. You and no one else may like it. But IMO the white bkgrnd seemed a bit much. I snatched the blue from the cap, lightened it considerably and filled in. If you don't like it, my feelings won't be hurt. It's your pic, not mine. :-)

I like the detail less background. May I be as bold as too suggest that you paint out the left-hand corners?
