Spent about 1 hour to get the light right in the photo. I can see some flaws, but I have no patince to give one more round. Hoping this to score around 6. This shot is inspired from IreneM style of photography. This is my attempt to give her a tribute. I found it very challenging to get the light the way you want. Hats of to her.
