Sorry to step on your toes Ken.

Just look at your photo, you could easily have being standing in a tunnel or something like that. You've a wall on the left side and clearly something going overhead on the right side of the photo that's why I asked if something was above you.

Yes CTO it's called, sorry.

ps. just thought about it but you've a wall on the left so the stofen throws light on that. You might be outside but the stofen had a surface to bounce from, if you don't have a surface it won't work and will only eat up the light.

I'm happy continue to provide the necessary support.
If you think thumbnails would work then I'll provide them, that will also be a conformation for the ones that entered that their photo is processed and accepted.

So Doug you can start a new competition and we will try to keep it interesting along the way.
Two weeks to enter and one week to vote would be good enough I think and wouldn't put too much strain on the other comps, 3 weeks where simply too long to keep it interesting.

I'm trying to upload photos to the Pentax Photo Gallery but somehow I can't save to JPG with Photoshop CS5 without losing the Lens EXIF data and you need that data do you want to upload your photo there.
Any ideas or suggestions?

Ken it looks like you're standing under something if so then that's cheating

I can't really say if it makes a differnce, she hold her head a bit different but the shadow under her right yaw looks the same to me at this size.
As for the colour that wasn't what we talked about and it only shows the sto-fen isn't colour neutral, a GTO gel would have the same effect.
As since her skin looks darker the contrast between the shadows is also less, maybe that make the difference if there is any?

For got to congratulate you Doug, I hereby do.
Gwyn set no time frame so you were allowed to use an old photo.

you truly had a busy week ^^;
Maybe I should have trickled the voting as well

Yeah no problem, unless some says I didn't do a good job with the support.
Already did tickle though but didn't help much

We now had a voting time off a week, more then long enough I think.

That was it, strange that there is such a large difference

No weather sealed body.
I'm sure Flossie is going to look for a K7 now

Thank you Neil for putting so much effort into this. What you wrote is precisely what I think as well.
I'm getting it off easy here
