The wife just wondering....

I totally messed up on this one. I blew out the background a bit. The edges of her hair look strange. I shot a flash through the background. Should I have just lit the background from the front instead?

I think the background looks O.K. and the hair looks like it should with back lighting. Matter of fact, the hair looks very nice for back lighting.

The eyes kinda bother me a bit though, too much turned in the sockets=too much white showing. IMO it is best to always see white on both sides of the iris.
Not too sure about the catchlight? What are you using?

Nice job on this, you have a very pretty model there!

I used shoot through umbrellas. I think the catch lights look strange because she is looking too far to the right. I have to watch out for this. Thanks for the heads up!

Pretty skin tone, your wife has lovely complexion. Nice photo, but agree with the eyes-catchlights comments.
