    I think I struggled with this assignment the most out of any so far, so I'd like any feedback the community can give!

    Not bad at all Neale.

    The thing I notice most, is the missing (Rembrandt) light under Oppenheimer's right eye.    

  • Neale Genereux(generesque) replied

    Thanks Martin. My key light was producing that, but you're right, once I added the rest of the lights, I think it became almost imperceptible. I struggled with light placement that would give the Rembrandt light, but would also create that hard shadow line that goes almost vertically through the middle of Oppenheimer's face. In the end, I think the two face shapes are pretty different, with the model being a little flatter. Here's a second attempt that improves it a little bit I think.

    Yes indeed better!

    Rembrandt lighting is often really hard and sometimes even impossible to achieve.
