Thanks for sharing this Ed - the results are crisp as well. Sharp too!

What a happy chap!!!

Another great portrait, I would be interested in seeing your DIY beauty dish.... Really enjoying your flickr stream at the moment too.

Very cool shot, Ed! I do like the lighting but your model is sooooo intense! :)

Very nice lighting. You do realize it's OK to smile once in a while, right?

[Runmonty]

Looks like you have nailed the lighting - very nice

cheers all, thanks for the feedback.

When I shot this and others that day I was also trying to capture different facial expressions/"looks" - apparently this photo not only worked on the lighting level, but also on capturing the feel of an intense stare.
