what do we get for extra-credit?
Are we allowed to talk this time?
backlit is a great way to go-
saturated colors, interesting highlights, bounce light
das experten can say, but I don't know, Russ - hit it
it's good.

Thanks Barker. Backlit is a great way to go. if you've ever looked at much of Keith Ferris' work you'll see that he uses backlighting a LOT. It really allows you to bring more colors into the subject than you can with direct lighting.
Someone in another forum asked me how long this one took - only 5 hours. Compare that to the DH2 study which took me 5 days!

Thanks much, AAC. Rudenberg's colors worked well with this palatte, don'tcha think?
I'll be working on the finished version next week. I should be able to scan it and get it posted in a couple of weeks.
