    Look, I love this pic but: does it look real? It is, it was shot from the 25th floor with the sea in the background, using a flash. No flash would result in a very dark face of course. Not an option for me... What u think?

    yes it looks real but the closeness / and hard light of the flash is giving a bright highlight to the skin which i think is where the question is coming from, a large soft box or diffusion material will soften the shadows and cut out the highlighting
    nice pose and smile!!

    I like this image Eike, the out of focus area in the background does not distract from the main element in the image which is sharp and nicely in focus. With the cup in the image it tells a story and the background causes comment, which a good photo should do.
