I'm likely just a tad higher than her here. She was sitting on a stool and for a number of shots I was standing on a step-stool to gain a bit of height. But she's also tilting her head forward slightly in this shot. Thanks, Christine! On Sun, Jan 15, 2012 at 12:52 AM, Christine Aguila

Paul, is it the two catch lights being of equal(ish) intensity that bothers you? I'm thinking to reduce the brightness of the larger (umbrella) of the two. Ie rather than cloning them right out. I rather like multiple catch lights like this--adds lots of sparkle and life to the eyes. Thanks for

It's more the different size that I find bit distracting. Certainly not a serious problem, but i think the near centerpinpoint catch lights you have are perfect. That's why i'd clone out the larger ones. On Jan 14, 2012, at 10:51 AM, Bruce Walker wrote: Paul, is it the two catch lights being

Very nice light and a fun pose. I like the small catch light in the center of each eye, but the large light reflection near the side of each eyeball is a bit of a distraction. You could clone those out. Paul On Jan 13, 2012, at 9:32 PM, Bruce Walker wrote: Meet Marzenia, aka Marzi, an out of
