Challenge: Free Study 2012-05 (Advanced Editing VII)
Camera: Canon EOS-550D Rebel T2i
Lens: Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II
Date: May 16, 2012
Aperture: 11.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/200
Date Uploaded: May 30, 2012

 MY first attempt at off-camera flash photography on my willing wife the day after our wedding.

Typical strobist setup: one flash with shoot-thru umbrella.

- Processed in LR3 with Nik SEP2.

Really don't expect this to do well at all (maybe a 5.6?), not well executed enough to draw good votes. Sharpness is off in the face, her eyes are closing, hotspots etc.

Know it won't score well, but hoping to get some comments or helpful suggestions.

nice portrait, like the tension created by the angled head and body, like the motion shown by the hair.

A bit too much contrast i think which is making the face blow out a bit.
