This was reflected from the umbrella, with the umbrella at about 6 ft and
pointed down.  Since she was sitting on the floor, that was pretty much
overhead.  :)

I see what you mean about looking natural.  The shadows *are* where I'd
expect.  I don't like the bags under the eyes, though.  S'pose I should
throw some foamcore down on the floor to reflect up a bit.  That's my
weekend project...build some easily foldable reflectors.  :)
