Lighting Experiment

I have really been working hard on this lighting stuff. Here i used soft

box single light with my face very close to the light. It has been edited

for complexion and skin. I would like to hear from anyone about the

lighting in the eyes and the overall picture. Thanks in advance for your

critique. LInda

Well I see now where your daughter gets those "big browns" from:) Very nice self-portrait Linda. Makes it easier when the model is a looker doesn't it, cheater. I love your framing and your lighting here. I don't have a studio (yet) and can't begin to imagine how hard it's gonna be to get the whole lighting thing down but your shot tells me here you know what your doing. I know it has everything to do with what you were going for so I would ask you, what do you think of this photo. Is there anything you like or dislike? If I managed this shot I would certainly be proud. Great shot!
