You’re both right, she wasn’t amused..

This was about “shot” # 200 and 2 hours in…
We’d tried the couch, chair, several lighting arrangements from shoot through, bounce all from different angles.
….and she was getting bored and cold.
We did get
lots of smiling ones and cute stuff.. I just liked the light in this as she was looking up it filled in the eyesockets a bit more… plus it was our "last" arrangement that actually gave us a hairlight so it naturally looked better then the rest.
thanks for pointing it out

Hehe.. thanks Fawn.. she endured 2 hours of this.. she had fun, I had more.
But Fall means its getting cold so that’s what turned her into Mrs.Grumpy.
She did give some other very very good poses… as above this shot was the best to fill the eyes in to my liking.

The other thing you might want to fool around with is a blurring trick like a soft focus lens, vaseline on a UV filter, or nylon stocking over the lens, to soften the harsh edges a bit. A slightly more golden tone to warm it up would also be nice, it seems a bit cool. I like the red curtain ground, the lighting angles and general pose, and the black frame works well too.

Thanks Yolanda, I’ll do some fiddling with PS and see if I like the soft focus thing. I was going for a “clean and pure” look.
