This is a lovely photo. Love her eyes. I acutally prefer this dark background not the light one posted a while ago. TFS

very good!.. looks like you fired the AB past from behind onto a reflector which formed the main light?
(just my wild guess)

but it looks really nice.. hard to believe its only one light.
very good work.

You would have to tell me what is wrong with it because I think it is brilliant.

you gave me an idea I had gotten an optical slave for my sb600 but I couldn't get it to fire reliably so I sat down and figured it out I used it as a hair light behind and to the models left .that left my 2 ab800 one through a softbox to camera's right and 45degree to model and above model then my other ab800 to models right and 45degree to model and above at about 1/8th power through a white umbrella I think the softbox light was somwhere around 1/4 to 1/2 I think the hair lite needs to be a bit higher

A lovely shot of a beautiful lady. Gorgeous eyes, and you brought out the best of them.

The hair resting on her (camera) left shoulder should probably have been brushed off or down, but sheesh, who sees that through the viewfinder?

TFS.
