It's a great shot again, Jim, although the look on your model's face indicates that he may have a little of the trickster in him. :-). Nice job.--Frank

Nice shot, Jim. Very crisp... I almost think a soft focus image would lend itself well for this ritual? Must be nice have in-house models! Good luck.

Hi Jim,

Very nice shot. I the strong light in this shot and the expression. Good luck this week.

Frank, Beverly, and Steve...Thanks! I really appreciate the comments.

Frank, he is a trickster.

Beverly, I actual have an action I wrote for a soft glow which I tried. Side by side....the non glowing one I preferred. Softening the image also detracted from the expression. However, we apparently think alike, because that is where I intended to go with this image.

Steve, for me, the light was the key to this shot.

You did a wonderful job of lighting a fairskinned redhead trickster.

One of my sons is a fairskinned strawberry-blonde and the other has dark hair and tan almost year round. I spend a lot of time frustrated when I'm lighting them.

I love this idea, and your model did a fantastic job!

I like this shot but the expression on his face makes me wonder if the subject line reflects his thoughts towards god or towards you….

I know my kids often gets edgy on me when I'm telling them: Do this, do that, now, later etc….

Happy shooting,
Yakim.

Jim,
Great entry... I really like the lighting. Good job!
To me, his expression has a bit of a "Please, please make dad get me a pony..." look to it.
Regards!
