Darren, hard to see but I think there are two catchlights: a smaller bright one at about 10:00 and the larger one you noticed at 4:00, which is likely from a silvered reflector. One portrait authority I read suggests that multiple catchlights result in a directionless gaze and all but one should be retouched out to prevent that.
Multiple catchlights are kind of in fashion at the moment, I think. Something different, like large ringlight catchlights (which I find very distracting and odd).
