IMO maybe the light is a bit strong... and candle light or a sheet over the light source would be better...
On a different subject, I expect to be in Kiev early April, and have already taken up contact with Vlad Sournine who I may meet... after doing a search here... I find you... If you would welcome... do email me: whoyouknow@gmail.com Ciao Lawrence
I like this photo a lot. I like the model, and the lighting, the chopsticks are great, however, I wish I could see them in the shadow, I think the chopsticks would have made for an interesting affect in the shadowy background. Other than that, I think it's great! Nice tones, and contrasts of darks, greys, and whites.
