Well done; Rather you took a hundred to get it or only one.
It does not take a expert to see what is here.

The Portrait shot on the page is very nice and has a timeless quality, due to the black and white and lack of period details in the frame.

well done.

This does not indicate not knowing lighting or my equipment. It indicates not being afraid to experiment. Using digital, there simply isn’t a reason to be afraid to take a ton of pictures. There are so many things that change in just a single moment. I cannot count how many times a scene became brand new because of a change in expression or an animal suddenly entering the area I am shooting. We’re not talking controlled studio photography here. We are talking about getting some great snapshots that can result in portrait quality shots.

My point is only that too many people, when they are first starting out, are afraid to try different things.

being from the old school, I have to beg to differ. Learn your equipment and learn light. Take less pictures and take the right one first time. Only with kids and sports should you need to take hundreds.
