This shot of Wendy was lit by a single 100-watt incandescent bulb. It was shot on tungsten film without filtration. I was actually trying to achieve the funky, gold-tone look.

I will be forever envious of your skills, Mike. This is really excellent. One nit is the bright spot on her forehead which presumably is the reflection of the blub (?) but it kind of looks like a discoloration. I really like the catch-lights in her eyes and the reflection on her lips.

Really nice. I'd change nothing, excellent image!
