    Great capture Jon, I love the way the light sits…. Off-shoe is really a great way of using the flash.
    It creates a nice balance between light and shadows. The fact that you used a softbox on the flash makes it soft light, with a very nice transition between the light and shadow area's. All things that contribute to the mood and setting of the child in the picture. Sharpness could be a bit better on the eyes, but then again I am looking at a web based picture. Well done

    Thanks, this is a cropped image and then it's a scaled down version for the web from that so that may be what you are seeing in regards to sharpness. I do confess that my eyes are getting worse so I probably need to get a eye exam!

    Thanks, light drops off but I'm not going to get too fancy on the beach with portable light and a kid that is constantly moving. I was lucky to get her to stand still anywhere near the light.

    I played around with the crop but this was the most interesting one for me, with her body angled to the light and her eyes angled camera left.
