Description
Just an end lesson I've given myself in trying to get the lighting right with two different skin tones. The true lesson here, is lighting that doesn't wash out her brown tone turning it into lighter tones while highlighting his true skin tone without over lighting him. I'll do more later, but for now, I'm happy with the results.
Next lesson, in black & white portraits...

Lighting looks good..the background image fits well with the lighting too.
WOW! Very beautiful portrait.
How'd you get a picture of my kitchen? Lovely couple. The lighting and background does fit well. Brings out the realism in their skins. Nice.
Beautiful portrait - most excellent work on the skin tones - lovely loving pose and expression
Great scene!
I love this one the pose and expressions... very subtle smiles {lips and around the mouths} Also her eyes really pop and yes I see what you mean bout skin tones. Some time can you do a screen print so we can see exactly where you placed the lights on each of them? Bravo! for another outstanding work of art
Well, it looks as if you learned something! LOL This is gorgeous!
Lovely and romantic scene...bravissimo!V:DDD.Hugsxx
Mercy all I can say is only you could turn what you consider to be a simple lesson into a beautiful image the rest of us admire. The image is romantic, warm and inviting as well as perfectly lit.
