Default Ring Light Shot-No Ring Light Catchlights!

Since some of you don't like the distinctive ring shaped catchlights in the eyes of people photographed with ring lights, here is a Photoshopped version of another image of Terra where I removed the original catchlights and replaced them with a single white dot, which is what you get with an on camera flash.

I like it Benji but, I REALLY liked the other catch lights. They were more interesting. IMHO.

Happy Easter, Ben.

I have to vote for the smaller catchlights as well. Well Done!

nay! i like the other catchlights. just my 3 cents. (im feeling confident in my decision, so 2 cents is not enough.) either way, nice benji.

is it just me or is there something weird about her hair on the left side...like it was liquified?

Her hair had a little "flip" at the end which was just above the bottom of the image and it was an attention getter, so I liquified it.

This is really pretty but I think the ring lights are cool, too. She's a lovely girl - you have some great colors here that compliment her well.

I really like your ring catch lights as well. They add character to the eyes. I find that draws me in.
