Post Your Best Portrait Shots!

[ddt0725]

Most of you know that I don't do portraits, but I finally decided to try my hand at with my new grandson.

Maddox; 3 months old and already a football fan

7d, 50 1.2, ISO 100, F8, 1/250, canon 580 exII and 430 ex
softbox left, fill light on the right bounced off the wall
The original images had two catchlights in each eye---I didn't think about that when setting up. Also, fixing them wasn't as easy as I though because the cathclight crossed from the iris into the pupil which compounded the fix.

Comments and critiques are welcome

I forgot to ask you, Bob ...what size softbox do you have? I am think maybe at some point getting a larger one. My someday wishlist!

DD, I used the Westcott medium Apollo which I think is 28x28---Just the right size for single or small family portraits, but for larger groups I think you would probably need a larger one, or put 2 or 3 speedlights in a medium and move it back a ways.
