 Just practicing with my lights. I really need to find a model or someone to practice with near me as my wife refuses to play nice...

Photoshop was levels, curves, curves again, selective color, black and white (opacity 10%), resize, usm, save for web.

I don't expect a high score, but at least it was more practice with my weakest subject.

I'd like to see a bit of fill light from the right. A reflector, even if it were just a piece of white cardboard, would definitely help here.

Side lighting works well in this shot. It's dramatic but not harsh. I wish the light was just a touch more to the front to give a little more light on the eye. White balance could be just a touch less yellow.
