I LOVE. LOVE. LOVE the first picture for the hair it's a jewel! OK. If you don't mind a little digital retouch how about another face picture which works best for the eyes. Then simply combine the best eye pic and the awsome hair pic. I think the second photo while it may be flattering. ( She does not appear large to me. ) is a bit odd IMHO as the head is tilted sideways. I also think the best light for the eyes should come from the side. Perhaps not a ton of light keep the basic setup as the one you have but also include some light from the sides to highlight her eyes. Have you considered a similar pose but have her lay back down on a bed. You can then arrange the lights the way you want and you won't have to stand on a ladder. Aditionally you can then have a cloth as a backdrop. OF course since there are her ( and her boyfriends ) pictures maybe you should ask what pose does she like and what type her boyfriend would like. Those are my thoughts. ON second thought I think the side way is a neat picture but it still will make the boyfriend probably desire to rotate the frame. Bsteph
