Image Number 3 (below): This is the most processed of the bunch - in addition to the above (#2), I nudged the contrast still higher and altered the midpoint contrast.

My second flash with a softbox was sitting on the floor, just left of Zachary's rump, and pointed up at the backdrop - probably more toward the center than I should have.
