Let's try this again, I hope it's worth it.

It worked now John, and that's what I tried to say in my first post.

P.s.

And I still think Mike's suggestion about the left arm and the flower on his chest is very appropriate.

Carolyn, I really don't think you can do anything with the arm perspective so I would crop it and try something like the following.

It could be a lot of fun with the lighting! Just a suggestion!

I like the tight cropping too, think I'll go with that idea, there is so much detail in his face it doesn't need any background.

I have just spent the last two hours rearranging the office/study so that I can have my pc, hubby's pc and my drawing board all in the same room, now all i've got to do is get on with it!!

Thanks everyone for your input

Beth's is a nice economical alternative, I like it also. Still not crazy about the flower.

I like the flower, personally. It adds another touch of whimsy. If you use Beth's composition I'd center him more in the frame a bit, though.
