Natural lighting, cloudy w/b and all manual settings.

good

-great colors (pop)
-great detail and contrast
-good comp (evenly spaced all the way around the photo)
-good DOF
-nice light

nit

-photo lacks drama (no emotional response) and has a studio staged feel
to it do to the uninteresting black background

Take care,

Thanks Dwayne,
I am just learning all the manual settings on my d40. How they work together, and all, not to mention lighting.
