I'm fond of unusual lighting being done on kids (in this case from below) but am not a fan of two main lights. I'm got getting red but am seeing just a touch of yellow maybe. I think its an arresting shot. I don't mind it light but perhaps I'd jack up the contrast a tad; and sharpen at the size you're at. It kind of looks un unsharpened. Its great to see medium format digital photography being practiced. We DO feel like we are looking at much more information as we do in film. It's in a print that we'd see I think that acreage counts both in digital as in film. An 11x14 or bigger I think print. The price point of the CFV back for regular Hassy is cheaper than the 8 grand first CANON camera I guess. But most of the hack wedding photographers and other commercial photographers have already traded in their Hassy's for CANONS. I guess the price point needs to jump a bit close to what people are paying for D3's and whatever the Canon full frames are called and priced at before people start buying back their Hassy gear and the price goes up again and both people and whoever owns Hassy are sorry to have let the stuff go. I've hung on to mine. And see the light at the end of the tunnel as to using them a lot more again. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
