Hey, thanks Derby! Intimate is what I'm going for. I wasn't setup for the full high-key Hurley look though; next time. I do love Hurley's work.
I agree with complaints about the fingers. The pose was dictating the framing but I was set on tight, so I compromised. When I retry that I will re-pose or re-frame rather than crop fingers. I have some other, looser, shots I will work on but none with that expression I so liked. On Tue, Aug 27, 2013 at 7:27 AM, Derby Chang <der...@iinet.net.au> wrote: > > Just saw this.
