This is a portrait of my youngest daughter.
The hardest part of doing any portrait for me is the lighting, if I am doing them inside. I can't move my flash or point it in a different direction and I really do not like what a flash does with the lighting, in most cases. It tends to distort things and add deeper shadows than there should be. To get this shot I actually held my hand about 3 inches in front of my flash with my fingers slightly open so that I could get the slash of light across the eyes.
Basically it was lots of trial and error and lots of shots. But I was pretty happy with the outcome so it was worth it.
This is a great photo, as usual! I love the lighting effect that you created...gotta work with what you have!
