Waiting at Rick's Cafe

An homage to Casablanca.

Thanks for viewing.

Lack of contrast makes the image dull, heavy and flat. Your shadows are too thick, her hat + hair + dress have no form. On the other hand, I like the pose facial expression and eyes.

Thanks for the view.

I appreciate the observation and agree. It was a fight with light, as the palm shadows got washed out by fill light so turned those down, then the table was dark so turned back up, then the side fill was too dim, so turned that up...I think the poor model could have finished the bottle by the time we were done crawling around! Perhaps a reshoot is in order. Thanks again.
