Beautiful portrait, Mikki. I love the mix of shadow and light. The catch light in the eye is a wonderful accent. #2636890Sue Stendahl April 12, 2006

Thank you all for your kind comments...this is my sweet Sarah, I was practicing my low key portraits on her a while back, and like how this one turned out. I just had a 24x30 softbox in front of and to the far side of her, and had the lighting slightly wrap around her face to sculpt her cheek closest to the camera. I was then experimenting with converting some of my images to black and white, so I sort of 'stumbled' on this particular presentation...thanks again for your comments! :o) #2638879
