    Yeah. Lori kept asking me if I wanted to and I kept telling her it would be fine.

    The shadows are a bit to hard on the face as well. Maybe need a soft box. My diffuser is just too small. Having the lower light be stronger would have helped a lot.

    Daq, much better. Excellent pose, good sharpness and lighting. Perhaps the light on the chest area would be stronger. The wrinkles in the sheet you can easily smooth out in post processing.
    Very nice.
    1/60 is getting there, try 1/125 as your setting. Your still a bit on the slow side for shooting portraits especially if your hand holding the camera.
    please do not edit and repost my photos

    I like this one much better than your previous attemps. The focus and clarity is much imporoved. I saw a picture the other day were someone had used a wrinkled background and used a gaussian blur layer to take them out. Nice wotk.

    Re: Occidental Tourist

    Very nice Daq!...this is different all around from what I´m used to see from you...
    This is a very nice portrait and I see you are dealing much better with the light, shadows and overall exposure.
    Nice work!.

    I was expecting Geena Davis, but whatever.

    I like this one a lot.

    The only suggestions I have are to get some seamless and to see about the brightness around the outside perimeter of her face.
