Actually no that wasn't the case.... I think what it is is the angle I shot it at. If I had it to do over again i would have made sure the ears were all good in it; again that's a flaw and a hit I'll take on this one. But no your analysis of the lighting isn't on point actually.

If metered correctly, "where" a light is positioned shouldn't blow anything out. Again look at your own photo to see overblown highlights all over the place.

I wasn't going for "symmetry" here - I wanted some difference between the two. This was a beauty shot showcasing the facial features... I just didn't quite hit the nail on the head with the ears
