Thank you to everyone that participated in the "Soft Light" assignment. Hopefully the preceding discussion and assignment on "soft light" helped you to develop the skill of "reading" light, and helped you learn to effectively use the qualities of the light to enhance your subject.
The images submitted for the "Soft Light" assignment are displayed below. Please vote on your favorite image for the "People's Choice" award. (There were some great images submitted this week, so I know it will be tough picking just one image as your favorite.) Simply select the image title in the "poll" attached at the top of this thread, and click "submit vote." NOTE: You need to be logged in to see the voting options. Voting will end at midnight, Mountain Daylight Time (GMT-07:00) on Sunday, 20 July 2008.
Remember that the guidelines for "Soft Light" were: "You should use soft light with gradual shadow transitions to enhance the perception of dimension and set the tone or mood for your chosen subject (so chose your subject accordingly)."
