Date: Nov 12, 2009

At the end of 2009 I began learning about photography and off-camera lighting. I felt this was my best result.

POST-VOTE:
Thanks for all of the kind comments and feedback everyone! Lighting was window light backlighting and an SB-26 bounced off of a bed sheet from camera left.

Nice & different making it very interesting for me. The crispness of the eyes , textures are great. Just wish the background was a little softer to give the model even more impact , 7

Good use of natural light. The pose feels a bit stiff.

If you're a beginning, you have a wonderful headstart on a career in portrait photography. This is lovely! Beautiful use of natural light and an excellent B&W conversion.

Nice portrait, light and look are great. I don't care for the background, though, and the burning left some halos, especially on the right.

Your model has a fabulous face. I love the tones you've achieved. Seems to be natural window light, which works very well here.
