 I just got an SB-800 flash to go with my SB-600. Also got a shoot-through umbrella and an umbrella adapter with a hotshoe mount. I've been having a lot of fun playing with 'strobist' techniques, and I really like the light that I acheived with this photo.

I had the SB-800 behind the bed shooting up, and the SB-600 shooting through the umbrella just off to the right. I also had a studio light off to the left in another umbrella.

Editting was done mostly in Lightroom. Levels adjustments, colour adjustments, sharpening. Final resizing and sharpening done in The GIMP.

Great shot, love the face that the feathers are sharp and the red on the white works really well. Nice

Lovely shot. I like her expression. The lighting is excellent and the floating feathers top it all off.

I think this is one of the better photos in this challenge. You could have improved the composition by cropping out the curtain to the right and the and the bed frames. Overall an amusing photo. Good Luck
