Hi Axelhawk. I think the picture looks good. As for suggestions, I would say maybe you could try more than one light to sculpt the subject even more. For example, in the grad pic below, having a separate light for key and fill and for shoulder light allowed me to control each one separately.

If you have only one flash you can still use ambient as a second source of light, assuming the color temperature is ok.  In your case, maybe you can use the flash for a shoulder light, and ambient as your key.

Re exposure, you'll get maximum image quality if you expose to the right (just barely avoiding clipping).

Best regards,

Mic
