This is cool, you've really mastered the central lighting. it has that unreal sort of glossing effect that candle light has over people. the face is so beautiful even at an odd angle and not really being the focus but so serene looking, very classical feel

The hands and the candle are the best part. Beautiful work.

You should know better than to wake a man when he's sleeping. 'S bad luck.

Ah, fortunately I know how to counter it. The man who did the waking buys, the man who was sleeping, a drink. The man who was sleeping drinks it while listening to a proposition
