in your sample headshot, i'm not too keen on the dual set of catchlights in each eye altho your clamshell lighting works for many headshot applications.
I can agree but to me this subject is pretty close to symetrical lending itself to the over and under technique in my ways. But I am having a real hard time understanding the true catchlight pattern as if one of the eyeball was flipped. The pattern of catchlights are not equal to both eyes which might be giving you a problem more than the technique for this subject?
