It wasn't even close for me. -- Posted by Al Legator at 8:31 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 Horrible glare? Do you mean the reflection in her eyes? Otherwise I much prefer the second to the first. Modle's smile is warm and friendly and the lighting to the side/back brings out depth better and helps frames her face nicely.The reflections in her eyes would be more than acceptable- maybe even better than with no reflection, if they were less symetrical. You see the kind of inverted "Y" ? If it was gone completely I think it would definitely be good. If it were only one spot of light rather than 2, and offset, it might be even better. -- Posted by Brookie Chookie23 at 8:51 pm on Aug. 19, 2008 Except for the reflection in her eyes in the second shot, it just looks like you've taken a photo with the sun behind your subject. I think you should o future lighting tests either indoors so you can control the natural light variable a bit more, or with the sun in front of your subject. -- Posted by Fouad at 6:11 pm on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from solitude at 6:16 am on Aug. 20, 2008 Quote: from im with stupid at 5:14 am on Aug. 20, 2008 You stretched my screen! same here   FP same here
