looks like a place I've climbed in the Pyrenees called Breche de Roland :) Fab.

wow, thanks People :) Where do I find the top 50 list, I'm intrigued to see the other 49 :)

Thanks guys, I love it myself - Sheona is a professional model and it's kinda hard to take a bad picture of her. She's also 5'11" and a complete sweetheart :)

that's the steps of St Peter's and weirdly I'v enever been there but have worked on the Local Heroes campaign for TV. Lovely sNarah by the way...

You're looking at Niamh G from Kerry, owner of the most fantastic features you could ever want to photograph. The pose is all hers, nowt to do with me :)

Ah thanks everybody, truly chuffed at the TOTD, although I'm still trying to figure out the 1st "T" bit :)

I seem to have found a small niche in the market - I'm doing a lot of this fairly tightly framed beauty stuff (and getting paid for it which is a bouns). I "discovered" studio lights about 18 months ago and have been practising a lot. I try to keep it simple, at most two lights and a reflector. What I was trying to do above is fairly standard beauty lighting (butterfly lighting) which is a lamp directly above pointing downwards at about 45 degrees, and a reflector under her chin. This gives the so called butterfly shadow under the nose. Great for the complexion. I think this was shot on about an 85mm (crop frame, so I'm not right on top of the model) prob at about f/11. 

Thanks again. H

Thanks Trooney, never thought about the crop, I think I was probably trying to centre her eyes :)

Thanks both, I'm not sure I like the crop, maybe I should have it printed so I can assess ...
