You did a great job. I don't see any way to improve upon this excellent shot.

Did a good job Bob. I really like the catch lights. What was your lighting experiment?

I like it. Try to move the catchlights to exactly 12 O'Clock, no rule, just to see.

Thanks Art. I was following instructions found in this article http://super.nova.org/​DPR/Ratios/ (external link) I did it mainly because I have never have had any success with acurate readings from my light meter. For whatever reason, this time it worked. Not sure if was the DIP switch settings or what. Looks like I will be experimenting more since the final metering appears to have worked (set the camera to what the light meter said). Normally I have to set the camera a few stops different from what the meter says.

Thanks Ray. I've actually read that they should be at 11:00 or 1:00. But hell, I don't know being basically a newbe.
