I like the composition and I like the dark, Rembrantesque colours. You might cop some flack from some of the forum members in relation to it being under-exposed but I think if this is the effect you were after then you nailed it. My only criticism would be that you need a more attractive model.

Yep, I could have have cranked up the exposure however I wasn't trying to shoot a pretty model in a studio under lights just a mate in the natural environment around the campfire.

Posted: Sat Nov 24, 2007 2:05 pmNo problem. Looks like you've also upped the exposure and added some red for the campfire.
Here's one with the exposure cranked up and the red reduced.
