Anyways - this is the daughter of one of the families in our church. She is 14 - sorry Fetor - she wont be calling anytime soon ;). I had this idea earlier in the week but due to our crazy life schedule I wasnt sure if I could get her over to the house to shoot. By some freak chance they happened to be on our side of town for a short bit so they stopped by and I shot her and the family individually. I made a composite of the 4 that I will unhide after the challenge is over.
Lit with our ringlight from the one side, black velvet as the backdrop and shot with the 50mm. I did practically nothing to make the left side black. A bit of spot editing but just to soften up some harsh shadows and then some simple "pimping". But this is what I had envisioned and I am so glad it came out as it did. 6.61 is my current score. I shoudnt complain, but I was hoping for a bit higher. Whatcha gonna do. Maybe a top 20.

"Whatcha gonna do." Well, for starters, quit whining. A top 10 doesn't exactly suck, and it's a gorgeous portrait. Your conscientious efforts to try new things and do them the best you can are regularly rewarded by results of shoots like this one - and by that I mean the photograph, not the DPC placement.
