    Hey all,
    I am pretty satistfied with this one and I hope she will be too.

    I wanted to put a catchlight in post processing but I didn't succeed. Any help on that?


    Anyway, I wanted to know what you think.
    cheers,

    There are already catchlights in her eyes so I'm not sure what you would add. My only niggle is a problem I often have myself. Because of the hat half her face is darker. A fill flash to brighten up that area would have been a good idea.

    Thanks alot. I was thinking that putting a bit stronger catchlight would give a bit of popup to the upper face.

    Nice shot Yisehaq! A bit more contrast overall and some face dodging should make this sing a wee bit louder. Model will be happy with think I'd bet!

    Thanks Marko. One question, when you print framed pictures like this one, do you keep the frames or print without them?
