I did not realise the cost of setting up a small home studio, stands, lights, backdrops etc. Managed to save alot by using 200, 500 and 1000 watt security lights adapted to fit portaflash lightstands, using different umbrellars, at only £5 per light, the time it takes to change light heads is a small price to pay againsed the savings. They get so hot.... 3000 watts, I can't remember if Daniel's hair was this colour before, or the heat had changed it (-:

I usually save to web image in PS7 at 750-1000 pixel height. I think the images are resampled / sized by the site after you upload them.

This photograph is superb...I wish I'd taken it!

Now having said that let me thrash it...at least a bit and according only to the way I see it.

I have a saying you live by the crop and you die by the crop...I believe that really applies here. You have this great shot that in my opinion has too much space around what I consider the heart of the shot -- that elfish little face!

And so what would I suggest? Crop, crop really tight...or, and this is kinda interesting -- rotate the shot clockwise up to 20(!) degrees then crop tight. I spent a delightful half an hour cropping and rotating. Most of the versions that I ended liking were versions that cropped out almost all the sweatshirt from collar, down and a wack of the white background.

And if you've already tried this and didn't like the effect? So be it, you're right, after all you took this great shot.
