If you *just* want catchlights, I'd dial it down to -2.5 or -3. As it is you're getting very uneven skintones. Cycle through the 4 pics and see how her skin seems to change. http://webhome.idirect.com/~trini/model/tracey/IMAGE~12.JPG.JPG Compare her face to her side or hands. Part of the problem is that your flash is a different color than the ambient light. Compare the mortar near the bottom to that near the top. The blue skylight is darkening her skin where your flash isn't reaching. Also notice she has a mark right in the middle of her chest. Makeup would have helped. Her pose looks slightly odd to me, like she has an itchy butt. http://webhome.idirect.com/~trini/model/tracey/IMAGE~15.JPG.JPG Um, your plane of focus has drifted slightly south....otherwise I like this pose best. I'd like to see a cloud in the upper right, and I'm not sure about the horizon through her crotch, but she looks relaxed. Also, compare how her hand looks in this one to the first one. For some reason I think some of these would look better if she were wearing a bracelet on her left arm. Call me weird. > I still have no idea of what to > do with their hands tho :-( This sounds like a personal problem. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
