Hi all,

This is one of the shots I did for another senior portrait session at the end of February. Some of the others are on my Flickr Photostream. What I'm looking for as far as critique goes is how the composition looks and if the color and lighting look good. I'm normally happy with my outdoor portraits but I've been struggling with my indoor shots. I'm having issues getting my lighting down to the point where I'm happy with it. Any advice/tips are, as always, greatly appreciated.

TIA.

About the only thing I can see that I don't like (and I get them all the time also) is the large "bump" in the cloth just ahead of her arms, otherwise I like it.

Id have to agree with the bumb in front of the girl. however the texture in the blanket is nice as well. My only other suggestion would be is to just get a reflector and lighten up the background just a tad it seems a bit gray to me. But all in all great posing nice pic. A solid senior shoot id say. Thanks for sharing.

Benji, I've seen your work and it is phenomenal so thank you. I've begun to have a love/hate relationship with muslin. I love that it is relatively cheap and easy to transport but hate that it wrinkles and doesn't stay put. Does anyone else have a thought on muslin? Is there something better?

Thanks everyone.
