A lovely model. I liked the first one the best (superb), the 2nd one next, and the third one least (mainly due to the improper white balance. Compare her teeth in the first and last shot and you'll see what I mean.) Darren Addy Kearney, Nebraska -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net

Re eyes and lips: I discovered how nicely the 40 silver reflector brings out highlights in this shoot. I was *really* pleased with that look. But it's a good thing the sky was overcast or we would have blinded the subject. She remarked that she could feel the heat from the reflector. :-)

Bruce, It seems to me that the bottom of her face in the 1st shot is overlit. Promotes a kind of 'flashlight under the chin scarry look'. I like the 2nd shot with the white background. The Gazanias are great, a marvelous composition and big impact image. Regards, Bob S. On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at

Re overlit lower face, now that you mention it, yeah. It could do with an ACR gradient to level that off a stop or so. Trouble was the height of the window and angle of the sun forced us to tilt the reflector slightly upward to catch the light. The light looked even across her face at the
