nice... although me thinks the primary light source should be from above? the berries shadow cast on the dress suggests that the primary lightsource is coming from the left of the camera?

I hold the opposite opinion I think that the lighting should be more dim as heaven feel is actually a pretty sad arc (if I din remember wrongly)

it's not a differing opinion... my views is with regard to the angle of lighting, not its intensity. awesome dio though...

right that was my bad had a brain fart moment thr LOL the light source above and an abandoned place remind me of a scene from FFVII

The light above is indeed the brightest, following the law of nature where sunlight is brightest, but since this is a photography product, the laws of portrait photography should not be broken - background should not be brighter than the main subject (unless we are talking about intentional artistic effects such as making the main subject totally black/in shadow, with a bright background). So i raised the brightness of Sakura with fill lighting until it's just enough, as the main subject especially the face she should not be too dark. The sides and corner are indeed made to be dark to make it seem like the light is only coming in from above.

Great photo. The figure look pretty impressive, even it was prize figure.

It's been a while I'm visiting this thread.
Anyway, the pre-order figure began to killing my passion on this hobby. The sudden delay & wait really makes me think again to place my order.
Maybe I just wait & just buy at the time it will release, even it will be a bit expansive.

And none of new figure really attract me to buy them.

don't get me wrong. exkurogane... i understand where you're coming from and it is indeed an awesome setup/photo. it's the berry shadow upon the skirt that gives the impression that the strongest light source is coming from somewhere to the left of the camera. would've been perfect without that shadow cast. then again, i'm no expert

i agree. it feels like nothing i want is anything short of a year's wait these days. that said, nothing much that i want either. not sure whether that's a good or bad thing though...

For me, the high prices these days is what's killing my interest in this hobby.

Haha one of my figure still not released one year after the preorder began, and received notice that it will be delayed again

it's ok =) i appreciate the feedback

Yes, nowadays from late 2017-2018 period waiting is 9-12 months. The reason is because a lot of existing figure preorders are running behind schedule. Lots of GSC and Alter figures, both, have been getting an average 2 to 4 months delays at least.

For me Im cutting down my figure orders by half from 2018 onwards because i ordered a new camera to take my figure photography to the next level.
This camera costs RM14,496 for the body only
Nikon D850. Full frame, 45.7 megapixels.

any thoughts?

Exactly, even from not famous companies also costing more than 10k yen.

My RSAL has been in the post office since 19 December. Do you guys know if I can personally go to the post office and request for it?

I would suggest u calling the post office and ask for the situation of the package first..
