Hey guys, here's a picture I took of a singer friend of mine.

Great lights, I think is a good work

I like the lighting.

Cool lighting...care to share the set up?

Really beautifully lit; if he's a soul/jazz/RnB singer, you've nailed it; I already imagine he has quite a smooth voice. I would've liked to have had just a soft touch of light on his back, just to faiiiiintly outline his figure, as he has a rim light pretty much all the way around him, but you lose him there. Really wonderful image though.

Thanks guys, I agree anlenken, I think a touch more separation would improve the image.

I dont see where the 580EX is lighting him from the right. Where's it aimed at?

Awesome pic, and thanks so much for posting the "making of" writup as well.

Awesome lighting

Great stuff. Have you tried a vertical crop? I think it would really work with the vertical line of the mic stand.

Thanks every one.
@JackAhearts, the 580 is bringing up the over all shadows, on the right side and a bit towards camera, without it it would fall to pure black, I also didn't want to make it to obvious, and give light a sense of direction.
@Pixelmagic, I haven't tried a vertical crop, I tend to gravitate towards having some negative space, but I'll give it shot, and post it here later.
