When it comes to spontaneous shots my wife is my number one subject, which I am thankful she doesn't get to annoyed with me. While walking in on her bike exercise to ask a simple question I noticed a great opportunity to take her picture with the sun light coming through the windows. Unfortunately after grabbing my camera the sun quickly vanished so I decided to set up two speedlites outside the window to once again get what the sun was producing, a hard light with dramatic shadows. After a few shots we were done, after all I didn't want to bother my wife anymore. :D

    I love the light and the composition, nice job recreating the sun with flash. But I wish she was looking straight ahead. I think she would look more determined and driven, and I think you would probably have gotten Rembrandt lighting on her face. I don't think this angle on her face is very flattering.

    An "accurate" reproduction of a scene and a good photograph are often two different things.
