Challenge: Affluence (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Canon EOS-350D Rebel XT
Lens: Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM
Location: Olching, Germany
Date: Jul 30, 2005
Aperture: 5.0
ISO: 200
Shutter: 1/50
Galleries: Portraiture, Studio
Date Uploaded: Aug 1, 2005

 Took this in a shooting on Saturday & afterwards thought it might fit the challenge.
Don't think it will do too well but we'll see.
My studio lights aren't too bright so I had to up the iso to 200.
This is a basic 3 light setup.

it's too bad there are so many poorly calibrated monitors.
I see the fur just fine....and there are no blown highlites either. good work

This definitely shouts "affluence", but I fear the fur is lost - I can just barely make it out, and the impression is of a disembodied head

Nice portrait, but it's so dark you can't tell it's fur :-|

The model's hair is beautiful contrast to the fur's color but the background robs the viewer from feeling the texture of the coat.

I like the idea, and the backlight on the model's blonde hair is nice, but if the subject is "fur", I can barely see it...

This has the potential to be a great photo. But since your subject is "fur", it's a little odd you can't actually see the fur. Maybe with a lighter background?

The background does wonders for the hair and tanned complexion but absolutly nothing for the Fur coat.

its tough to shoot something this dark withou blowing out the modle's face, even more so when the model is this fair, but since the fur is the subject of the shot it really needs to be more visible in the shot.

the black background does not work well here as the fur is so dark. Nice idea though

This could be a great shot but the fur is hard to make out. Just needed some more light on it. Her hair stands out a bit too much IMO.

The dark background makes it hard to really see the fur (could be my monitor too) Great expression/pose!

A little too dark to really see the main subject (fur) well

Affluence?

All my eyes land on is the model's hair. The lighting seems to be off...at the top of her head, the hair appears greenish and toward the end, the lighting blows it out. Her face looks sunburned. I can hardly see any of the fur coat. On a positive note, the model is pretty and has a very nice, pleasent smile.

The fur is almost invisible. I might've made it more a focal point since you titled it as such. Nice contrast with the platinum blonde hair. Good clear portrait.
