I went back and looked at the original of #1 and on my monitor it looks just fine. I haven't tried a print out yet. I do agree that my flash techniqe could use improvement. I think I will try a bounce screen to see if I can soften it up a bit. I was just playing with the Sima soft focus lens. I only took a few shots with it with some Velvia slide film in my R4. The bulk of the shots were with the 90/2.8 on the R8. I only had time to scan a few of those before I gave the negative to her. She is suppose to get them back to me so I can play with them a bit. Thanks again for your comments. >Nicole 1 - There's a lot of blue in the mid tones on the face which makes >her look a bit ill.
