The bit of the scene through the open door has a patch that is very much brighter than the rest of the picture. If one just looked at a luminance histogram it shows the original picture is perfectly exposed. But all these technological whizathingymies are just there to confuse us. I just dragged the levels highlight slider to the left and your model jumped out of the picture at me.

With the proviso about the lower stairs being too dark I really like the image and the idea.

Can't butter a pint of beer though.

I just had a quick go at adjusting the levels in photoshop which I think improves things, or is this too bright now (maybe my monitor needs adjusting)

One thing I notice Chris is your picture does not have a colour space tag. Was this intentional ?

I like the setting Chris and the light in the room behind is a great idea, but it seems to me your model is a bit dark/flat ? maybe just my monitor. I don't think the dark area on the stairwell below her adds to the scene either, sorry.

Hi and welcome

Hi and welcome. Never used MF myself, so hopefully we can all learn something !

Nice image and very well done. Congratulations.

Does it have an aperture ring? is it in the A position ?

4 and 6 really caught my eye with these Gareth
