What a cutie!!! I'd put a white reflector or similar just under he face, to get rid of the shadows - but that's just small things.

What lights did you get?

Thanks for the nice comments.
My new lights are called Genesis Uni G-400
I have two of them and they are made by Aurora Lite Bank
I am going to have fun with these.

hi. i cheked out your DOF OVERKILL and i actually like your photo. i see what you mean about the low lighting situation and working with a slower f-stop.

there is a 50mm 1.8 and a 50mm 1.4 i am looking at. there is also a huge price difference between the two. wich should i go for?

i also checked out a SIGMA 28-70 f2.8 for under $300. is it worth it or should i shop around for the 24-70 f2.8?

The sigma is a good lense. Certainly worth the money.
