Caitlin
My daughter Caitlin shot on an overcast day using natural light only. The shot reflects Caitlin's contemplative, tired, but relaxed state at the time, I think.
This is perhaps my first serious attempt at a centrally composed portrait. Still not sure if I like it. I used the lense's maximum aperture. I did the b/w conversion and all shadows/highlight adjustments in Lightroom and cleaned and sharpened (highpass technique) in Photoshop CS6. A faint vignette was added in Lightroom.
