A young Annie Lennox was my first obvious reaction...

Out of all the shots of your that i've looked at, this is my favourite. The off-centre compo, the hair and eyes, the Newky Broon...all work well together. Lighting excellent, of course. I like the contrast of a pretty, delicate-looking girl drinking the man's beer through a straw

Would make a great ad poster for the brewery with a slogan fitted into the negative space.

Very nice image.

your framing is absolute, using a black background made your subject pop-out. well done.
thanks, y2koSan

Fantastic! She looks great. I love the off-centre comp and the directness of the light here.
One of your best.

Hi Martin,
A very good capture of her natural expression with a light that enhance the colours and perfect details. I like the way the subject is on the side of the picture. Her eyes are outstanding. Nice work, TFS,
Ivan

Hi Martin,

Gorgeous! Simply gorgeous. I like the dark background and that she is positioned on the left of the frame. The orange of her hair, nails, lips, and straw all compliment the tones on the bottle. Great choice of beverage for this shot. There is also a lot of mystery.

Thanks for sharing, Lisa

A red hair woman with a red beer!
She looks gorgeous, and the picture is, as usual, technically perfect, the left position of Heather, the pose, the eye contact, the background...
By the way, I like very much her new look!

Very interesting pose and original with the beer. Her short hair works well with the beer.
Congrats to you and to the model.

How did this one slip by me?! This is Amazing!

While im traumatized that the lovely Heather has shaved off her beautiful hair, it emphasizes how Stunning she is!

The colors here are perfect and they all blend together well. This was very well done.

How do you do your lighting man? Ive read before that you only use one fill flash, is that true? Id love to know.

Thank you for sharing this with us! You may want to contact NewCastle as they would be stupid to not buy this from you!
