I think I need to add a flash to get better micro-contrast on the feathers.

Very best,


Good work ! That's a well-thought out setup. <thumbsup>

I noticed that too. While I often enjoy the overall lighting from ring lights, the catch lights often let me down. This example doesn't read as harsh to me. I like the DIY concept.
