I agree that 1 and 4 are the only ones that have decent lighting, however I completely disagree with the statement about it being a universal rule not to shoot someone in dappled light. Dappled light can be extremely engaging and flattering to a photograph, you just need to practice both how to identify good dappled lighting and how to apply it to a portrait so it looks good. Obviously it didn't work for these portraits, but there is absolutely no universal saying or agreement that it should never be used, because that is untrue. I think telling someone that there is forces them into a creative box.Number 1 & 4 qre the only ones with reasonable lighting. There is a reason that it is universally said that you should NEVER shoot a person in dappled light!

I disagree with this as well. I've been experimenting ever since I got a camera, and it has done nothing but help me progress. Boxing yourself in will not help with progression.I agree that 1 and 4 are the only ones that have decent lighting, however I completely disagree with the statement about it being a universal rule not to shoot someone in dappled light.

Another universal in photography is, 'Learn the rules before you break them!'
