Obviously the light stand needs to go. The lights in the background are distracting as well. I think just a nice tight crop with them in the center would do fine.

I should have mentioned I need to keep it with 6x4 proportions.

Rule-of-thirds here?

Lol is that your umbrella on the right there?

looks like you got the right umbrella AND the left umbrella stand in the frame. You should focus a little more on composition and a little less on strobist.

Also 28mm on a 5D for a portrait of 2 chicks? Get a little more zoomed in on them. 50mm+ would be best

I intentionally shot wide so I could crop. Thus: my question here.

how about?

also, shooting wide to crop later is a silly way to do it, especially on a 28 :S the loss of resolution will be huge cropping to an acceptable 6x4...

so either way, this is what i came with.

usually you want to leave more room in front than on top

photos with a lot of headroom give people the impression they're short, lol.
