My major goal here was to find that happy balance where a subject in white would be properly exposed to show details in the sweater, while still maintaining good skin tone and a good white seamless background. It's a fine line (I'm not sure it's really 'high key' as such - but pretty close to it) and one I've been struggling a little with to get just right. My main concern here is - did I get it right?

And yes, Lynsey is a very pretty lady... and easy on the eyes. There are a few more of her (my muse!) in my port.

Dean! I really love that shot! I'll have to try something like that with Lynsey next time I get her in front of the white paper.

Thanks all for your feedback! It's helping me out tons as I explore new areas of expression.

Cheers!
