All I can say is wow! Great portrait, Jennifer! Let me see if I can dissect it:

- Lit from the left - looks like flash reflected on a large card or wall. Can't tell how the hair below her left ear is lit... I don't see a reflector in her eyes. ???

- I assuming the cold color effect is mostly a function of post processing?

- PP effect for the lines in the bkg. Can't tell what the bkg is.

Well, looks like I have more questions than answers. =) +Fav, btw.

Cool, thanks! I own the Vivitar 285HV and love it. The Tamron 28-75 f/2.8 would have been my first choice if I didn't go for the 24-105. =)

I really, really like this one! As I said, I like tight crops, and this is great! I also love the detail in the skin - some people try to blur out the skin, and I really enjoy this. I also think the posing is fantastic.

I do like the halo, but it's very subtle - I almost missed it. I might try a hair light to make her head sort of stand out from the dark bkg. But, maybe it's better this way. =)

Nice, Tim. Is the background lit with a light, or does the vignette produce the effect?
