FWIW (probably not much) - lighting is too much. Try using a lesser light source, or moving it further away from the subject, or putting a filtering material between the source and subject (even a white piece of paper in front of the light will cut it a lot, but you can also use a white translucent piece of plastic - like a thin cutting board). At least you didn't do my mistake of camera too close and use the on-camera flash, with harsh front-on lighting and a very distinct shadow on the background. Interesting subject, and interesting use of the hat and necklace - the brown contrast with the green of the statue. Keep playing around with it, try different things and see what you like. |
