In the first shot the wrinkles, folds and pattern of the overly bright red background are too busy and too distracting. I will suggest going for a simpler background in which you try for a harmonious color, further away from the subject, and try to separate him from the background through greater distance and larger aperture. Try to find two simple lights with lots of diffusion and no flash in order to learn the basics of lightling your subject. *************Studio Portrait Lighting*************** Tutorial on Studio Portrait Lighting Using Two Lights, with Emphasis on Rembrandt Lighting: http://www.zaffora.com/W9DMK/PortraitLighting.htm or the downloadable PDF version at: http://www.zaffora.com/W9DMK/PortraitLighting.pdf Thanks for the links and info!!! http://www.tanyaeverettphotography.com/
