I thought it was over-lit at first, but I like it the more I see it, and the B&W treatment seems to work well. Definitely one for the family album.
Thanks David. The direction of lighting does mean the inside left arm of her dress gets more light than the inside right, but that's the nature of directional lighting... it might not be to everyone's tastes though. Cheers for looking and commenting - I was pleased with it! I think the processing I've chosen has really stretched the dynamic range/histogram to the full (which was the point with a high contrast B&W). I'll add a SOOC version below...
I tend to agree with d00d, it's slightly too bright on her dress. A get image non the less and for continuing your journey into the light(ing).
Hiya Tim. All opinions appreciated! She was wearing a pale pink voile dress which was always going to be susceptible to highlights getting a bit too high. However, the SOOC below confirms my own thinking that it was my processing (rather than lighting) which has pushed the highlights into the hot zone. Although nothing is blown, it's pretty "contrast-max" and even in B&W I realise it won't necessarily be to everyone's tastes. Thanks for commenting; I always appreciate people taking the time and a critical eye to it
