your photo is beautifully designed. also perfectly lightened. the only comment from me is in the Rembrandt, it is better that the triangle of the lights touches the bottom line of the eye. in your photo is not triangle shape and also went inside the eye.

the lights are nicely managed and color temp is also amazing. congrats. So the color temperature and the background color create an eye-catching contrast which is appreciated. additionally his hair color has been meticulously chosen hence the contrast i have mentioned became more sharper.

congrats. you took a nice photo. color temp and lightening are nicely managed. also dark and bright boundary are completely visible. mostly photographers use very widen aperture to focus on the eyes but you use tight aperture and showed all the face clearly and beautifully.

it is super beautiful since professionally lightened and has a nice creativity. Rembrandt light has a triangle of lights just below the eye. your photo did not create this triangle but has triangle of shadow due to the face color. i really like this creativity.

the photo is supper beautify and sensitive. the only point i am going to raise is our contest topic which is Rembrandt portrait light. your photo has long loop light although it is perfect. So i would like to congratulate you for this photo.

I welcome your human portrait photos which have been photographed using the Rembrandt lighting technique. Rembrandt lighting is a type of portrait lighting where an inverted triangle of light shows on the face just under the eye. This lighting could be created by controlling the light, such as using studio lighting. Photos can be in colour or black and white.

This photo is tastefully taken. The topic was Rembrandt light however this photo is half-face light. Rembrandt is a triangle of lights which is being created by the noise shadow. However half-face light darken a half of the face. what attract me in your photo is the darkness and brightness along with each other in the same photo. this creativity is needed more in the new photography style.

This photo is tastefully taken. However the topic is Rembrandt light, this photo has loop light. Rembrandt is a triangle of lights which is being created by the noise shadow. However loop light is a circle of light just below the noise and does not reach the eye.
