Precious

Your lighting is getting better and better. There's something funky going on with your R ring finger -- some blurry spot. Great drama the way you lit one eye. From your previous shots I recognize the shape of the chair which doesn't bother me -- what does bother me is the hard triangular shape formed by the something on the R and the top of the chair. I like the degree to which you lit your foreground hands as compared to the lesser light on your face and arm. Good ----- creepy ------- but good. Why "Precious??" Did I just say that!??

Cheap Gollum Joke Paula.

Um.....I had to go google Gollum. I guess I missed Lord of the Rings. Now,that I have seen him -- you did an outstanding job - you're way better looking than he is.

myyyy precious. MYYYYYYYYYY PRECIOUS!

Hahaha, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the title.

I like the shot a lot. In this case, I feel you could venture a little farther into PPland. It would suit the subject just fine.

strange but interesting lightning

are you holding a candle ?

Yes holding a candle. There is a flash with a honeycomb filter firing at my hands. There is supposed to be a backlight too, but it did not fire for this shot. But this is the only one that worked at all.

Funny thing is I figured holding a little votive candle would be fine, but trying to work in the dark and trigger the shot and all I burned myself with wax several times. But wax doesn't typically get hot enough to do any damage. We all suffer for our art I guesses...
