More of One of my Favorites to Work With

Here's two more from one of my favorites to work with. Gen came to me because she wanted to honor her nephew and had an idea involving angel wings.

I went scouting and found this beautiful waterfront location at a local park. I wanted her to be in the clouds like an angel going up to heaven. I was getting set up and it started raining. She called and asked if I wanted to reschedule. I said no let's see how the weather plays out, especially since I was underwhelmed with the shoot earlier that week and really wanted to hit it out the park. The weather broke and this is the result.

1st shot:

Canon EOS 77D
Sigma DC 17-50mm 2.8

17mm
ISO400

Godox Flash in RapidBox

2nd shot:

Canon EOS 77D
Sigma DC 17-50mm 2.8

ISO400

Godox Flashes - main in RapidBox, strip camera right.

Critique is always welcome.

I really like this. As I look at the overall picture, I am wondering what it might look like if the face was even deeper in shadow. I say this, because with just the hint of the face, my eye seems distracted by the highlight on the nose. Perhaps it's just me. A great idea of hers, and well executed by you.

Thank you, Darin. I really appreciate your comments and feedback. I hadn't considered the highlight on her nose.

You know, it's an odd thing. I love the picture, but once I saw the highlight on the nose, I couldn't un-see it. Again, really nice work.

I took the highlight on her nose down a bit and I think it looks better. Thanks again for your input.

It's a great shot, I wish I had taken it.
