Marcus - thanks - I was hoping to pull off the rim lighting simply because it's so different than what I normally do. I usually go for strong dramatic light with dark shadows.
Thanks, Richard!
I guess if I can't re-shoot then I'll go with #3, but I really prefer the first pose. It has more movement to it.
Linda - that's funny that you mentioned coaxing a good facial expression from him. I've attached 2 composites below. I have hundreds more.
Alex - you know, I miss the days when I could just order my kids to do my bidding. They become so independent and even MONEY won't sway them. It's so frustrating. Of course, when I could order them around, I also had to do icky things like change their diapers and stuff. So it's a trade-off.
Wish me luck for a re-shoot today! I'm going to add an artifical light - and see if I can't get both the rim light from outside, AND directional light to make form shadows.
