Yet another here from POTN... great tutorial! Thanks very much for your time and effort, Benji.

Now, off to pretend to work while actually browsing through more of the tutorials here... it's a slow day in the office, and this will help out quite a bit.

Hello!
I would offer one more rule - "Keep hair from gaps". I guess that gaps in the hair, especially on a contrasty background, are very distractive.

Benji, thank you very much for these tips. I have thought of some of these tips on my own but never had confidence in my own theories/techniques. These are much more concise and thought out. I will use your tips and put them in my tool box. Thanks again

This is probably the best thread in any forum of any kind on the web. You are incredibly generous Benji. I am most grateful for the work you did putting this together and teaching all of these techniques. The info in your posts here made me sign up to this forum. You are a rare and wonderful person for doing this. Thank you.

Wow. This is the first thread I read on PhotoCamel and all I can say is if the rest is half as good as this one then it's one great forum. Nice work Benji, and thanks for all the advice. Pure gold.
