David –

 

The head shot of Sandy is good, but not perfect.  There is too much light glare that needs to be knocked down (cheeks, nose, forehead) – contrast seems a little high, and – it looks like you were using two fill  lights without a main – resulting in, for my tastes, a shot that is a little flat – almost as though you had a main light without a fill – kind of the same result.  In looking at the shot, were your lights both placed at about a 30-45 degree angle with equal intensity (or distance)?  If so, one should be moved closer to the lens, the other should have intensity dropped off a little – it will give you a little more shadowing and contouring of that lovely face.
