Given that a cloudless day is considered to be one of the more extreme lighting conditions, it seemed this (and the next) would fit. Admittedly it's a stretch, but then again, it's hardly unique in this regard.
Thanks for sharing two exceptionally lovely portraits. Were you connecting the harsh lighting conditions to "xtreme lighting"...? It sounds as if you may have some convincing left to do that your entries (which are both obviously very well done!) are "xtreme" enough? Regards ~jnconradie
