I took this photo of my friend yesterday. It's a bit different, but I'm happy with the way it turned out. I would love some comments & critique!

    I think this shot has potential but really needs more dramatic lighting...just too flat for the subject matter

    I tried something. Hope you don't mind. I think the added contrast helps a lot.

    Marissa,

    I agree with Daniel. I do want to say that skin tones look much better here than in your SP pics.
