Paige's booth portrait
Recently, I taught an Off Camera Flash class. Paige was my model for the class. We were outdoors but it started to rain. Luckily, a nearby restaurant let us conduct the class in their dining room.

I would bring out the stars a lot stronger. You can't see them really good so that's a bummer
This is a nice setup. I think my comment is related to Matthijs's: I'd like to see a bit more, OK, maybe even a lot more "sparkle" in the highlights (not just in the stars, but the tombstones and trees). When shooting at night, one doesn't want to burn out the highs, and sometimes I find myself overcompensating too far in the opposite direction. That said, I've noticed Fstoppers image hosting sometimes does weird, unflattering things to what I post here, so I'd want to see a version of this on Flickr or some other platform before rending final judgement. The framing and colors are there, it just feels a bit dark overall.
