I just read your comment William and you are so right. I find that portraits captured at the right moment are far better than those spent time posing.

Wonderful. You have a great way with natural, existing light portraits.

Thanks, Matt. Your comments are always welcome--and my response to the technical part is--why bother lighting the hair and take away from the face. The biggest weapon my competitors use against me is that I shoot too fast and I don't take time with people. I have watched them take fifteen minutess to set up a shot--and believe me--everything is perfect--not a strand of hair is out of place--every crease and cuff is perfection--but guess what--in the final photograph, nobuddy is home--their eyes are vacent and listless. I've lost more sleep over photos that I've seen but didn't have a camera or missed that moment because I was adjusting something or wasn't ready. Photographers seldom realize that even in portrature, spontanuity and timing are everything.

William,
Of all of your excellent portraits I find this one the most memorable (sp?). Although the child's hair (left-center) looks a little too dark, it is not distracting. The reflective look on her face is priceless, and seems mature beyond her years.
Wonderful portrait!
