But here's what I just don't get - if the shadow is so harsh, especially on the insides of the model's legs, how come I'm seeing shadow detail? I see the texture of the wood behind her. In the image posted here, not just the full-sized version. It's nowhere near black, it's more of a dark gray. How can anyone call that harsh, or nasty? Do you see the shadow detail? I've been doing this long enough to know what a bad shadow looks like, and that ain't it...
Harsh doesn't mean 'no detail'. It means ugly and unsightly. While the shadows in that picture still have detail, they're still rather abrasive, have pretty hard edge lines and jump out far more than they should, IMO. Obviously this is all subjective, an it apparently doesn't bother you, so who cares, it's your image.
