I liked the ones with a bit of contrast more, they showed more depth and the girl separated from the background nicely. All of them, the ones more flat and the ones more contrasty fell each on useable categories. For example the flatter ones fit nicely with stock photography. I have a fear of flash photography I, like you, am deciding on a set of strobes. i am leaning toward the Alien Bees....In all honestly I am in "the dark" on tis one. peace D.
