High Key Portrait Study

Comment by glad2badad:
I'd have pushed the high key even more, but try and save the eyes. Somehow this seems a little unbalanced with the lighting effort. The upper left appears as a nicely toned B/W photo, yet the bottom 2/3's of the face is blownout. Compositionally what you've included in the frame works well. One last thought, I think the eyes should be clearer. There's too much of the white reflector showing and is distracting.

All of the above is JMO of course. :D Good luck in the challenge.

A little too high on the face for me. Interesting reflections in the eyes.

I really like the clarity and sharpness of this dragonfly series. what I would suggest is that you not crop the wings from the bottom photos. Otherwise really really nice!

Interesting subject, and I particularly like how you got three subtly different plain backgrounds. But the dodging on the body in the large panel is far too obvious.
