Don't mention those white patches out loud, Traveler, not when Sabine can listen - they are her biggest sore right now (next to her height, or lack thereof) - and she had applied some foundation that day, which unfortunately lead to her skin looking flaky.
So yes, maybe you are right in so far as the crosslight did not do this attempt at taking her photo that much good. I only saw it light up her eyes and got drawn into taking the photo for that reason.
It was no "portrait session", anyway.
Maybe I would need to move this to Snapshots and Bloopers................
