Half lite face is perferrable for a male subject..
Fantastic image, simply because there appears to be no, if very little editing. Natural as is, well done, a deserved 4 stars.
Solid. Clean and looks like little edits. Nice use of light and shadow. Disagree about Half lite only (or pref) for male subjects. That's subjective and this has been used by many photographers since the 40's to show the mystery, alure and strength of female subjects. I like it as a right out of the camera shot.
given the couple of facial raised blemishes, I would personally have avoided a cross-light. I'd have gone the soft route.
