So I have uploaded 2 pictures under my profile that I would like some critiques on please. I know now that I should have used a back light to highlight the edge/back of the body for separation of background and model, learned that in a workshop.

Thank you for your response. Do you think I could have done anything else to take that next step?

I would add a light on the right side of the model, to get some separation on the back, maybe just a line, no need for too much light. position it from the back, I think it will create more depth in the image.

What is "the next step" you have in mind?

I agree with Mike, a light behind the model or slightly on the side to get more DOF would bring more contrast, again it's more a photographers preference. I found this site that might be also helpful.

Teddy, good information, thank you. This a prime example why I joined this group and so far have enjoyed it..lots of information and great people.

Granted I am using the basic Nikon thats out there and my "studio equipment" is basic contiunes lighting, So there are avenues to take for better gear but I am one to master the basic level and then move onto better things.
