Yep, it's all right there. That is the beautiful thing about natural light - even the pictures are really nice. Bill Whitaker is always sending me photos of his models and portrait subjects shot in natural light in his studio and they just look wonderful!

Michael, I suspect that in person you don't need to use a reflector while painting as the details in the shadows is pretty good with the naked eye, yes? A reflector is good to bounce light into the shadows when you are taking pictures.
