Is this a window where you let highlights blow out or a light source? I think the former, but not sure.

I posted a similar image in the big image thread but not this one...
Vinny, I used my light box for that image. I ended up taking 3 images, showing slight varying angles of the model’s head from full profile to showing less to more of her face.
I really like it. I think I tend to power up the light too much when I do this and end up with that hair fringing that I never notice until after the shoot (it’s visible in one of the recent images I posted here).
The 35/1.2 is kind of a signature lens of yours now it seems?
Thank you, Vinny! I did it several years ago but I forgot about it but I rediscovered it last Saturday. Not only the model's profile but also her hairdo was just great for that kind of shot and that rekindled that trick in my mind. One thing that I noticed in one or two images, that there was some kind "webbing" at her fingers that were too close together. I noticed that later on and in the mean time, I fixed the appearance already. Guaranteed, the model is not a mermaid .
Yes, that Sigma lens is truly great and between that and the 105mm f/1.4 lens are my favorite portrait lenses now. Here is an image from the same session using the 105mm f/1.4 at wide open. A shooting buddy of mine that shot together with me asked me, what that lens could not do? I told him, except for making my morning coffee basically there is nothing....
