Great effect thanks for sharing it! I agree a flash would have worked perfect though!

A collapsible reflector can do work as fill light, no need for flash. It is lighter, it brings more natural look and if you are too far… you can use your tripod as an assistant

Rule number one I think… pop up flashes give a crappy look… always.

Thanks, Pierre, It’s always fun to have another PH preset to play with.

Indeed Marcus,
Unfortunately the pop-up flash would have hit my lens (Nikon 17-55/2.8) on this shot and create a shadow-ring on the ground. After I’ve applied this preset on the photo I have used the adjustment brush in LR to lighten up the face and dark areas (this is not applied in these example images though) as if it was taken with a soft flash

Thanks!

Using a flash (even a pop-up type) for fill up would’ve rendered a better picture in the first place. The preset ist nice as usual, though.
