What do you think of this lighting for an edgy stuntwoman/action actress shot? Am I on to something or have I missed the mark?

Also, if you like the image (or don't) please vote on it in my profile. Thank you!

It's a wonderful portrait but I wouldn't have guessed she was a stuntwoman from any element in the photo. However, if this is intended for use as a headshot, my guess would be that a casting director would see her as tough/no-nonsence and not an actress who's looking for a part in a rom-com.

Now that I think about it, my first comment was contradictory (very embarrassing). Obviously, if a casting director perceives her as tough and edgy, you've hit the mark. It's really great either way.

Haha I got ya! This is in fact intended to be her headshot for roles as an action actress but also for her profile pic as a stuntwomen. Guess I could've worded my question better. Thanks for the comments.

I like the lighting and mood, though in my cheaper monitor her eyes look red...evil...which is not the same thing as edgy necessarily. Nice job.

Thanks for comment. I've checked them on a few different monitors. My cheap secondary monitor, my color calibrated home monitor, another calibrated monitor at my office and my iphone. I can see on my cheap monitor that they are getting close to red but not quite there. The rest of them look ok to me. Maybe a little saturated.
