That shot was taken with my Olympus E-420
Used Zuiko 14-42 mm lens.

I got the color to turn out a lot better than before, however like you said the subject is coming out "soft" (hehehe still learning these terms, forgive me )

I have a lamp in another room that I will move and take some more in a few mins.

Hahah yes, I work that fast.... what of it? Today has been basically 80 pictures... let battery charge.... 80 more.... let battery charge.... 80 more... lol.

I want to start taking "good" sharp pictures so that when I meet this girl again I have something to impress her with ;)

Thanks for all the constructive help!
