<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]Keith,


<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]I really like the shots you share. I don't know if you were looking for any feedback so forgive me if you weren't but I felt compelled to comment on a couple things with this one.


<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]1) I think the ambient on-axis is a little strong overall and is shining too brightly in her ear.


<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]2) I like the comp, but her pose, though strong, proud and jaw/neck enhancing leaves me looking up into her nose. If she slightly cocked her her back toward you or if you were able to take the shot from a little higher up this could remedy the problem. Even #1 would help by taking the on-axis fill down a 1/2 to 1 full stop.


<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]These things are very picky but worth a mention.


<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]Love the background halo light. I wish I was home and could see the background color on My HP 2275. Looks like cinnamon.


<span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;"]Nice work man..........[Y]

What was your setup here Keith?


Gridded speedlite into background?
Softbox camera left and slightly behind subject?
Rayflash for fill?


Great job by the way :-)
