Classic! Love this shot. Poor Cookie Monster! Gosh, I remember watching him on Sesame Street many, many eons ago!! Great shot. Love the colour contrast between his blue fur and the green on the seat. Well done. TFS.

Soft light! Proportional to the square of the distance! Argh, shadows!

You make the very good point that there is sometimes a requirement for hard lighting, strong contrast, and sharp shadows. Especially when dealing with characters like this alleged cookie thief. Trouble maker if I ever saw one...

Well done and TFS.

Edit: Flash: Off camera 400ws strobe with narrow honeycomb grill set to 1/8th power. What the heck kind of software are you running that can pick this up into EXIF?
