I like this pose better than the first one. IMO - needs to be cropped.

What was your lighting setup?

I was using 2 strobes, I just added my second one. I am metering the main light at f/4 and the fill at f/2.8 and they combine for a f/5.6 I do see the shirt washed out. I believe I had the main light too close ( I had it turned way down) I think if it had been back a little farther may have gotten a softer look. Both lights were bounced of umbreallas.

Lights are fill, Medalight XP600 set @ 1/2 with white umbrella and main alienbee B800 set @ 1/8 with silver unbrella. Again I am just learning to shoot with more than one light, used to just use a main light right above camera but want to more of a 3D portrait.

Needs to be closely cropped.

When I do this enlargement, I will do a tigher crop, may repost the new image.
