Blow-out alert!
Just couldn't get any further from the strobe in #4... Not sure if it kills the photo though (???).

All conversions were done in RAW.

Subtle changes make for very different results - Not sure which I like best. :scratch But one of em' is goin' on the wall.


Thanks for commenting. :D

    Me likie! thumb.gif
    Just an idea: on the #2, tight 2:3 crop with the lit half of the face only, i.e. scratch the dark side and the neck/shoulders (maybe leave a bit for the "base", you know). Kinda following "fill the frame" rule, which I think might work very well in this case...

    My favorite is #3, but I'd clone out the one lit part on the dark side of the face as it's distracting.

    Along the lines of Nik's thought-waves (I believe);

    Cropping down any tighter is a deal-breaker for me.... But I'll admit; this here, I *think* I'm pretty excited about.

    Getting away and then coming back, this'll be the keeper (hands down) - Thanks for the help (I woulda completely missed it otherwise). :D
