This one has the sun (behind cloud) backlighting the hair with a silver reflector to light the face.

It's all pretty new to me.

Am i getting any better at this?

Very nice portrait Bob, but I certainly am no expert.

The only thing I can nit pik at is the catch light in her eyes. The fact that it isn't centered and reasonably large (due to reflector I suspect) makes it look a bit odd.

Use my comments with a grain of salt :wink:

I can see what you mean - there's something not quite right around the eyes and I'm sure that's part of it.

Very nice work Bob! :cheers:

I think it is in the catchlight, the slightly darker bit in the reflection that makes it a bit odd looking.

Err... no...

Slightly overdone in my opinion...

I agree.

I've downloaded the software about 13 hours ago and have had a few hours playing with it.

Foreshadowed my intention to do so on another forum just yesterday. :D

However,I think I am making progress and would be interested in your opinion of my latest post here
