Well i think your new D700 works a treat.

To my untrained eye the lighting looks great,when i could get it too look at the light.

Matty

Love pics two and three. Superb lighting and great composure. It helps to have a beautiful blonde as well. LOL

The crop in number one seems uneven. might be the fact her sock leads my eye towards something thats not there or the fact one leg has sock visable and the other does not.

Number four is also a nice picture but does not seem to have the same impact as two and three.

Still a great series. Keep em coming.

Go the double pluggers!!!

Seriously good shots mate!!!, one small lighting nitpick, i'd like to see a touch more light on her lower back in the 3rd picture.

Cheers
