His got some similarities with Topher Grace (from the movie, "In Good Company"). Neat Strobist work!

I really dig the lighting. my ONLY comment is the top of his hair gets lost in the dark shadow I wish the position of the background light could have feathered more so you could see a little silhouette of the hair. But trust me, this is nit picking on an other wise excellent shot.

Good lighting : )

That shadow on the wall is spot on perfect D. Really adds a great pop to the subject.

Nice shot, wow even at f/6.3 I'm surprised at 1/2 power on the SB900 from 2' away. Would have thought that would be way too much light.
