I actually didn't have the option of using the light meter on the subject since I am the subject and I was all by my lonesome. I kinda guess-tamated it. 8) The DOF I could go either way. It keeps focus on the portrait...but...the background was quite beautiful. hmmmm. Decisions, decisions. I take VERY few pictures of myself so I don't expect to have this problem much. Thanks for the observations. I appreciate good criticism.
this image is really good, i gave all sevens except for lighting, the lighting is great on the subject, but it seems a little to bright on the upper right corner of the picture. but that me really digging for something wrong. what i like is the lighting behind his head. thats great, the contrast is awsome. the expression on his face really says, wait till you see what i caught! great shot,
