.... two am !!! What light you had was fairly even Agree on making it into a card. Might tweak the greens for more saturation and lighten the redwoods (slight) Great feel Fine image !!

It would also made a great book cover illustration. I really like this one, Chris.

This reminds me a pointilist painting. Very nice Chris. Alien Bees?...a type of flash or strobe?

Jackie,
Alien Bees are a studio flash.They are a prosumer grade flash that has a lot of popularity with people wanting to get into studio lighting with a reasonable price for pretty decent quality. Do a web search for their site. There are some pretty nice images of people there.

Thinking back I may have used two AB 800s. I was trying a variety of combinations that night.
God bless,

Chris
