I am FULLY agreeing that before trashing rules one has to show he can play by them. This is about knowledge in general :) Totally wise :) and yep, prolly the camera was tilted I guess :) Also my hand is not the best to handle it (I have minuscle ones ;).) I am lookin for doing people portraits' soon actually, so what you suggest about direct light will be very worthy.. as generally humans are what intrigues me the most, one day (long way ahead) i will try totake pictures preferably of them :) Thank you...very appreciated words were yours :)
