Wow Peter, I wasn't trying to questions Jeff's knowledge of lighting at all. But I really must disagree with you on the "rules" of lighting.

Lighting is what gives all shapes form, and if you are to discard this information - as it applies to "Classic Portraiture", you will have a very flat image. To bring an image out of the background I can't imagine anything more essential.

As an illustration of what I was trying to say, I am attaching a jpg with three examples. One is a ball with the lighting I am speaking of. The second is the same ball super imposed over a painted head and the third is the head with the "terms" pointed out. Please keep in mind the word "ball" is to bring things to the most basic generalities.
