My two cents worth. Overall nice work!




I agree. I try to not shoot from that lower angle with my main light due specifically for the reason you mentioned Ken, the nose shadow tends to be very distracting. Lift the light up and use a reflector below her (you can even have her hold it if you go in tight on her).

To be honest, this was actually a lucky shot. We were walking in the forest when this fellow came to us. It was clearly from one of the nearby houses as it was very friendly He even posed long enough for me to focus

Great shot James!
Contact lens is little bit distracting.

Nice light, James, and I like the lens' rendering.

However, I do see jpg compression or banding in the shadows on her cheek. Could be my monitor or browser...
