Thanks everyone for all the input. I did shoot this in a small tent with 2 60 watt bulbs. I think Ill try again with 2 100s farther away. I'll try wearing more black too ... and all this time I thought artist just liked the color ;) Right now all I have is a 18-55mm lens , so I'm not sure if I can get any sharper , but I'm always open for suggestions ;) Thanks everyone for the feedback, jd
