Thanks David

Great news re; the new camera! Which model did you buy? Lenses? Get out there - it's fun!
Martin - thanks for the input. I personally prefer the b&w because it is the best composed and subtle of the bunch. Her eyes say it all - she's a magic model. I also like her in the surf, but the light wasn't kind at that time in the morning for side-lit features....
...hence Chris. Thank you for your input too. I was saying to Humayun at the time that an umbrella or couple of mylar reflectors would have been nice to have along. D'oh!

Without over-extending the natural highlights via some excessive curves adjustment I couldn't get make her facial and upper body/shoulder features better lit. As you say - if we'd known that we were going to meet her, I'd certainly have taken some reflectors along. The 70-200 would have been perfect on the day - Humayun showed me that. Thanks again for the encouragement Chris.
