I like that one better, model-wise, the other is better exposure-wise. But that is not a bad shot at all considering the harsh outdoor lighting.

More my fault than hers, I fear. These were shot hand-held, wide aperture, so I lost a number of better expressions to mis-focus and motion blur. Some of those shots are on the edge of useable softness, so I may revist them. (Sometimes I can successfully diminish softness by increasing LR "clarity" a bunch with the brush tool.) But come to think of it now, I should be able to safely blame the tools here. I'm stuck with a ratty old obsolete and quite useless K20D. It can't focus and it's quite useless in low light (ie anything dimmer than an arc welding torch). Meanwhile, you may be happier with her expression in this one ... http://goo.gl/1Mg2g [500px] Similar setup, but no fill flash. I didn't like the hot spots, so we moved under cover for further shots. > > Exposure well done.
