I love Raish's comment on this is the TS thread. This really is a wonderful portrait and it's just right on my laptop. I suspect my home monitor might have been a touch darker. The thing with "dark" is you have to do it so it suits you. The differences in monitors means you'll never have it look the same to everyone. He is such a beautiful child.

'spot-heal some ketchup on his chin' Lol! I really like this portrait - one or your wall, I think.

I like the concept. I think your lights are a little too hot. Probably could switch the White Balance to Tungsten and fix that. A little dark on the right eye. Actually like his facial expression.

Beautiful, though I would have preferred it a bit lighter.

The darkish lighting works ok here - a little too dark and flat for my liking though. Still a good 6.
