Practicing with a new black and white conversion. :o) I also wanted to work on using the rule of thirds. A special thanks to Sara, my model. She is a pleasure to work with and its soooo much easier to practice using studio lighting on someone other than myself!!
This is a fairly uncharacteristic shot for me, so I'm not sure what to expect - this being for a free study and all. :o)

great studio shot, her eyes could be a bit brighter and lips could use some gloss but toher than that she is pretty and really makes this shot work well.
Very well done. However, I would like to see the small catch light right above her lash line removed. I think it makes her look like she's been crying. Beautiful model.
I really like the lighting on this one - keeping the eyes relatively dark and the highlights in the hair really bright - placing the subject slightly off center also works really well - nice image
