I'm suddenly thinking if you had 30 portraits of Elizabeth with the exact same lighting it would make a *really* cool show. I believe you have absolutely nailed the lighting in this shot and it certainly follows the absent Uncle Ted's KISS philosophy to the enth degree. Was the light directly above the model or pointed down or forward at a slight angle? Was it at full power or amped down? I'm gonna learn your technique (well, some of it that is legal, anyway) if it kills me.... --Bob --Bob
