You know the line...

This was done very hastily, but I auctally learned some stuff from it.
First: Check what ISO you're at before you take the picture (I was at 500, when I normally do stuff the lowest possible [200 on the D70])
Second: Pay attention to the backdrop. You can see the side of the wall on the left side. Initially that was supposed to be the backdrop, but it ended up the dark behind the bust showed more because of the angle I was on. Should move a little more so its uniform.
Third: Pay attention when you're using the Raw editor. Some details that look funky in the final product looked good in the editor
Fourth: Check all of the light sources (this was taking on the hearth over the fireplace, and you can see a little bit of reflection of the fire on Cody's hand)

Fifth: Get your own hosting because blogger reduces the file size and some of the detail goes away :-(
I'm sure I will try and take the same shot again sometime. So I'll use this to compare.
