I always try to discern the lighting set up on pictures in the studio. This one is likely a two light set up with the key light being high to the right and slightly behind the subject. The other is a fill light. With portraits you can tell by looking in the eyes and looking for catch lights.

I guess people say that about me, too.
But the good thing about flickr is there is always something new and exciting if you spend a little time looking for it.

I try to “explore” 500 photos of Flickr defined “Interestingness” nearly every day, hoping to learn what elements contribute to my idea of a good picture. Originality leads all else by miles.
