A deserved win with a great image.

Thank you everyone, especially my husband who sat for the picture. This is his sinister or homicidal look. I went to the strobist training videos on beginning flash and this was one of their lighting setups.

Congratulations Robin W... Excellent picture. This is what I tried to achieve, undoubtedly I need more practice...

Would you please explain your light modifiers, Robin? That might help some newbies dip their toes into the water!

Nice job Robin, that's a really great portrait!

@Robin W Very good. It is difficult to get votes with people images for some reason.
I was going to ask who the handsome subject is, I see it is Mr. W.

I used a single light with a soft box (same can be achieved with a light and umbrella) about 45 degrees, maybe a little more, to the right side of Andy and about 45 degrees up. I was following the directions from the following link. I think it is the 4th video in this series. They go through all the classic portrait light setups. https://strobist.blogspot.com/2006/03/lighting-101.html
