It's a very good image, I like it. It's nicely lit and good placement of your subjects...looks like a back stage "press" shot. The "illustrative look and feel" post processing fits the style and intent as with many of the other images you've posted.
Rian, Wow man. What an excellent image.
Just love the overall look and feel.
One issue, maybe it is possible to tone-down the really bright area on the left cheek, of the 2nd guy(dark sunglasses) I find that my view is repeatedly drawn to the triangular shape, just seems a bit unnatural - distractingly apparent.
Please, for us slower folks, please provide some of the PP that you used to achieve such a stand out shot.
1: Beauty dish just above the camera
2: reflective umberella about 20 feet directly above there heads
3: giant soft box behind the door at full power to make it glow
The post was basically highlights and shadows, film grain, pulled down the saturation, yellow photo filter, some fake smoke for the cig and clone tool all over their faces
