Thanks for the comments Myriam and Piotr.
Myriam, He has hair, but the main light sources are coming from in front and to the far right and left of him and hitting the front and sides of his head. He's wearing a head torch with a battery pack attached at the back, so maybe the strap is not reading well and is confusing?
As for the halo, I went through various designs that included more gas like, smoky rings but in the end I thought it looked better as a very hard bright object. I wanted it to feel like a bare bulb left on in a house that's decayed around it.
Piotr, do you feel that it's too tight at the top? I'm OK with the composition, but I understand your point.
Of course now that it's finished I look at it and have to resist the urge to just go back in and change this and that and just accept it as done and move on. if any of it still bothers me in a months time I'll make changes.
Thanks very much for the comments, very much appreciated.
Best,
Max
