First off, great shots (both of them) and beautiful model. One question I have though is this: Are both shots in the same location with the same light levels? The reason I ask is that the models face looks evenly and equally exposed in both shots but the red sheet in the first one has a lot of low-lights where the detail is dropping off into the shadows. In the second one, the pink fringe on the sleeve closest to the camera has some high-light where the detail is dropping off. Is this b/c of the beauty dish dropping off fairly quickly? Just wondering b/c I haven’t been shooting my beauty dish near as much as I shoot my soft boxes and I haven’t noticed this effect with my soft box. Guess I need to fire up the beauty dish and start experimenting.
Keep up the great work, and don't give DeAnn too much rest (I love seeing both of ya'lls work).
