So I suck at full length portraits. So I avoid them and do the head shots.

That, and outdoors makes it a little more difficult, as well.

So do a full length, outdoor portrait. Make sure it's about the person, not the surroundings. We're not talking silhouettes, etc., but portraits that happen to be full length.

Definitely not!! As long as it's outdoor, you can use whatever lighting you want. I'm hoping to use ambient and artificial together.

This might mesh well with the suggestion of using the well-suited "Brenizer Method", but as mentioned would require a Special Rule to allow stitching and ultiple originals.

This will need a special rule to allow for stitching and a greater number of originals.

Brenizer Method - Advanced Editing
Use the Brenizer Method to create an image with that special feel of large format film.
*SPECIAL RULE: Stitching is allowed - Images are limited to no more than 30.

Paul I think that would hinder what Wendy is trying to accomplish. Getting better at outdoor full length portraits. which I agree are hard on their own, but adding that method may kill a bunch of entries.

Good point. I think the other is already in the queue somewhere anyway ...

Any other "restrictions" before adding this to the list, e.g. portrait of a living human (no sqirrels)? Tt would be Advanced editing unless specified otherwise ...

Definitely people, not squirrels. :)
