Spur of the moment candid.

One of my Brothers in law dropped by yesterday, and over a cuppa I was showing off the new toy. Sitting at the table opposite me was his future wife and bang, I couldn't resist a candid snap.
Shown as a portrait crop out of a landscape shot, it still needs a bit off the top to get the eyes into the right position in the frame, taken at the wrong focal length for a potrait etc etc, however it printed out well on A4 and looks OK from the correct viewing distance.

Would love to set her up for some decent shots.

Hi Bill,

It looks good for a candid, although as you mention, a longer lens would de-emphasise some features a little.

Just wondering what you used in the way of lighting? - it looks like a touch of fill-flash, but the catchlights appear to be offset, so I'm wondering if they're window reflections instead? (or both?)

As I said Colin, everything was wrong. :D Sitting under a Flouro light, one window about 2M to her right and another about 4M to her left. I prefer to do portraits at effective 100-105mm, with soft lighting.
