    thumb.gif Model is lovely
    :cry Wide angle lens is not recommended for portrait usage unless used for special effects
    :cry Lighting is too flat to my taste, but it's me. I like my shadows.
    thumb.gif Keep shooting!

    Nikolai, didn't shoot this with a wide-angle...is there some distortion present that leads you to that conclusion?

    sorry, should have been specific...interested in views on colors...is it too red, too dark, too saturated?

    Thanks,
    Jon

    Yes, her nose looks bigger than it should be... Of course, it can be a facial feature too... But your previous one also looked like WA (35mm or wider), hence my assumption...
    Colors look normal...

    Thanks for the info! Really - I've had a day of nothing but monitor calibration and would like to be done with this! Thanks again and greatly appreciated.

    Best,
