    Not sure if this meets the qualifications but I saw Rembrandt lighting mentioned so I created this image from the Alligator Farm. I converted backround to black and used a spotlight effect in PS to target the head...

    I would say it certainly does! Very nice example. Love the lighting effect and that eye!

    Dave, a gorgeous image. I love the contrasting color against the bg and the eye is human looking.:)

    I love this one Dave! Great composition and the lighting is perfect. I really like the way his bill fades into the background, but I still see enough to know it's there.
