This is the finished product of the photo that my Sister requested with the 'modern' white back ground which I'm not a huge fan of! What do you guys think?

Thank you for your comments, I'll have a play around with it now :)
 
I can certainly see more of his nose now but for me it still seems a little too harsh and bright. All my opinion of course, but it has the potential of a really good photo.

I agree... Looks too bright
 
How do I tone it down a little in Photoshop/Lightroom or Aperture?
 
Whats your setup?
 
Did it come out of the camera this overexposed? Did you shoot RAW?
 
No, it came out very warm looking. I took it using my Canon 1000D & had it on the automatic portrait set up. I was only playing around & wasn't intending on getting any decent pictures & then my Sister saw the picture & explained she'd like it in B & W with a white background. I done a creative BW high contrast in Lightroom & edited it with the burn tool to make his features slightly darker & took out the background. Nope, it's a JPEG file.

Any recommendations to create the look but better?

Many thanks,
