I'm beginning to get more into portraits again and I had a very short shoot the other day with a friend. I ended up having flash triggering issues so we cut short after only 12 shots, and I thought I had nothing good. Long story short, this shot I'm posting now was one of the first shots I took as I was moving my lights around. I took it very quick with no real thought about the composition, and my rear flash was far too bright, severely washing the photo out. Upon seeing it later I liked the composition, and then took my time to edit it as much as possible. These are the results. I'll use the critiques toward future portraits and will be posting more here soon.
