OKAY! I am seeing some serious improvement with the use of the lighting equipment from the last ones I saw. This is really excellent!

Beautiful. I'd say you're getting the hang of it.

Comment by nixter:
I've never used lights, and I think louis has pretty much summed it all up lighting wise:)
I do like the poses in both shots although the angle is a little low on the first for me. However, if you had a different outfit on for the first shot, say like a business suite or something, I reckon it would work, it's a very powerful and authoritive angle.
Looking forward to seeing some more light shots:)

Comment by Marjo:
The composition doesn't work well, IMHO. There's too much uninteresting space in between the birds. Perhaps focusing on just the single robin in the foreground or cropping. Nice colors, though.

Perhaps I would like this more if I could tell what it is...I struggle trying to figure out what it is rather than enjoying the composition.

I guess by brand I meant the brand of flash unit, or whatever light you are using, not the actual bulb brand.

OHHHH *sorry* Smith-Victor

You look so tall in the first one!! The second one (although I like AC/DC, too) is a little too soft, IMO.

I like the dyptich. I wish the right shot were as focused as the left. I like the perspective and the lighting of the left one. You have resolve and determination in your expression. Not a fan of the red border. I think it might've been better in gray for some reason (pay me no mind I've only had one cup of coffee this morning. )
