 Taken for the June Macro Side Challenge

[Jul. 7th, 2010 10:38:43 PM]

Taken hand held with homemade flash set up.

- No gel used on the flash
- I did mess with the shadows but that was the best I could do. I could get more detail in the shadow of the eye but for some reason it would look real noisy. May have something to do with this being a pretty good crop.

Post Challenge:
Thanks for the votes and comments. My 2nd best score and so happy to make the top 20 on a Free Study.

fantastic focus. wonder if you tried some shadow&highlights on the eye if you could have pulled a little more out of the bottom of it. excellent shot.
