Lighting example

This is an example to show how lighting affects an image. Lighting is very important when composing and constructing an image. In the first image, the light is diffused which means it gives a softer look. In the second image, the light is more harsh and concentrated which gives a strong shadow and washed the image out a bit. I think if the light source (in this case a flash on a seperate tripod, controlled by a trigger) was directly in front, the image would look more balanced and natural.
