Great shots. Good work.

What lighting set up and gear did you use?

I'm leaning towards natural light only in most of them.

Watch out when removing CA.

Lovely set, but shots 3 and 4 are a bit off around the lips and detract from how good it generally looks.

Thanks all repairing it now

Its really weird, there seems to be colour missing from the lips even when all filters/corrections removed, ill just have to paint it in manually :eek:

Yes, just watch out for that in the future, it's so easily done as its only a click away.

Good stuff.

I can't decide how well the 1.4 is rendering the necklace in the out of focus areas in the early pics.

What do you think of it?

Resize your images please or put them in spoiler tags.

I thought the bokeh was a little rough and a little distracting tbh. It's got that onion ring quality to it. And obviously the amount of CA appears to be a real issue.

The shots in question were actually from the Canon 70-200 F2.8 IS L ........those mentioned were not the F1.4 lens :eek:

I guess image compression was an issue..........
