Definitely a good idea keeping this in monochrome, although I would like to see the original... Unless you shot it in monochrome. Let me know!

I see a black ring around his head. What caused this? I did this once with a color picture. I asked here, and someone said, "Too much sharpening." Sure enough, they were right.

Getting better at lighting, I think.

Add a reflector on a stand. Several sizes of reflectors go to make up a good
kit. A small white reflector can do wonders to focus bounce light just where
you like. Large gold or silver add a more equalizing effect.

A small strobe on what the call as background stand about 3 feet tall can add
some highlights to the edges.

Although there is a small catchlight from the side strobe, there can be one behind
the camera. We use a small umbrella with yet another light source for that.

All this brings the nose shadow under control and gives you the ability to
darken or lighten as you need.
