    The light itself looks (for me at least) about right. I'd be happy with that at this stage of my shooting. But what stands out is the lack of detail on the hairlight side. A simple reflector to the right of your subject could have brought out those dead/dark spaces ever so slightly.

    hair light looks fine..the drop off of the main light is the problem, need a reflector or some more ambient to light up the the subjects right side of the face!

    Alright guys thanks I had the reflector out and then moved it while putting the hair light back there and just forgot to return it to its original location cause I was fiddling with the other problem thanks for the input

    A hair light geerally comes down from above and behind, generally speaking. I feel this is more of a modified kicker as it is also riming his back shoulder area and neck.
