Bride lll

Challenge is to use one single handheld flash to creat a studio look,

and make the face glow. Comments are welcomed.

The lighting is very harsh for this photo. Blows out the bride's face in areas. Next time try to diffuse the light by shooting through a softbox or umbrella. Beautiful lady.

Harsh lightig is intentional, wish people would read before commenting.

very high contrast on the mouth - not as good as your other work

High contrast is intentional Gerry. Best seen with CRT monitor not the LCD.

I understand that you were going for a high key effect. I was simply stating that the harsh lighting on the brides face blew out the flesh tones on her cheek. I was under the mistaken belief that High Key meant great defintion between the subject and the background. I did not mean to offend only to critique. My apologies. If you did not want others opinions, you should not have asked.Again, My apologies.

Oh and BTW, the wife comment made by someone earlier was a joke I am sure. Maybe not a good one, but I am sure no harm was meant. Humor is a good thing...
