Yes I realize you didn't shoot this, so the positive comments go to her father for shooting it and you for manipulating it! ??? They don't come any better than this, "B&W or colour!" A very attractive young lady. And obviously "shooting from the shadow side" once again proves old Rembrandt seemed to know what lighting was all about even by candle light! ;-) And in his case whatever light was avail. Anyone wishing to learn about light, never mind all that modern day electricity stuff, go to the library and have a look at a Rembrandts paintings book and you'll learn more about effective lighting than many of the glitzy modern day publications. Well done mon ami. Actually two mon amis! :-) :-) cheers, ted
