Thank you jerry & grayham :)
 
I posted a small file to keep my images from being used improperly.

This shoot was on camera lighting (speedlight) with reflectors only.

I should have stated that earlier, my apologies.

So, I bounced to the left and reflected left & right. There was not an opportunity to set up my lights. [i have been certified in 3 studio light courses over the past 10 years, I just wasn't able to use them that day- hence the shadows] :)

For what I had to work with I was semi-satisfied, and the clients were very satisfied, but advice with last minute/unforeseen circumstances for lighting would be great.
I was in the middle of a gymnasium that had no working outlets (i know, are you kidding me- right!) and I was "supposed" to be in a studio (dance) with all the electricity i could need according to the director who I booked with. I planned on 1 flash and 2 lights, and ended up using 1 flash and 2 reflectors. the only thing I could have done differently at the time was bring a generator, or cancel the shoot.

BTW, it was for a non-profit, and im not doing it again- ever.

Thanks guys! :)

I connected with this girl. See that smile? It was there and gone in a

flash ;) I love this image for personal reasons, but objectively- my

lighting is standard and hum-drum. What would you adjust and why?

I like this very much. My first impression was- I appreciate how the image makes me feel like I am there. On further reflection, I appreciate how the contrasting colors of the water, sky, and cliffs are actually very soothing. Lovely Image! Sunny

at first glance: Breathtaking
