[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 118579, member: 9240"] For me, who knows absolutely nothing about portraits, I'm thinking you need some sort of back light (is that you're hair light?) to define the edges of those heads. Probably 1/4 of what you have up front, but enough to give yourself some definition. And maybe even one on each side, brought down a little. It looks like the back lighting is more from above left than from behind, so maybe even a second light form the right? Please feel free to ignore my specifics, as I know less about lighting than I do about nuclear physics (true - but not by much!!), but there's definitely a lack of definition around the people in the photos.
