    Howdy... I'm a fan of ring lights for the light they produce but not for the catchlights they produce... My eyes get sucked right into them... I feel they are to over powering.
    I looked at your other images... super nice, you have many wonderful images with beautiful skin tones.

    The light looks flat/harsh and the hand overpowers the image.
    Just one opinion of course.

    Two opinions. Also, what focal length did you use? His head looks long. Hope that's not the shape of his head and he's reading this! :twitch
