Erica - I love the way the catchlight circles the bottome part of the pupil. Great shot! #1340477Erica Murphy January 01, 2011
Thanks a lot Martin!! I use the Larson soft ring light, which is a big beast of a light and circles his face in light so even with a helmet and cage, no shadows and a tic tac toe effect in his eyes. #9137843Martin Cregg January 01, 2011
