I was shooting late yesterday and the model was late so the sky was a bit too dark. But Im still not happy about the lighting.
Im looking for some tips on what I couldve done to improve this type of shot.

I used two shoot through umbrella's. One 45 degrees down cam left, one for fill cam right.

Thanks for your opinion. I see what you mean though. She doesnt pop out and that's part of my inexperience. I also spent some time reducing hot spots but they are still noticeable especially on the chin.
