I did miss the detail of the necklace. That is why pros have stylists and make up artists and assistants ;-) The even light is intentional of course. Look at any 50 random Harper's Bazaar covers. I like the those remaining stray hairs personally but I agree that you won't see them on those 50 covers ;-) *If you want to take more interesting pictures, stand in front of more interesting stuff* -- Joe McNally Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman On 12 April 2013 00:58, Alan Magayne-Roshak <amr3 at uwm.edu> wrote: > On Wed, Apr 10, 2013 at 12:22 AM, Geoff Hopkinson <hopsternew at gmail.com > >>> wrote: > >> > >>> second look from a new shoot at home with a new to me model, Courtney > >>> M9 & Elmarit M 90 > >>> > >>> http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman/image/149615259 > > ========================================================================================================================================== > (Hello LUGgers.
