Do you mean where that circle is-where it's highlighted?
You don't need to go to photoschool-some people need to learn composition and lighting, others have a natural eye. You've got both. What gets you jobs is your book. Buy a reflector and use that as your second light. You can get ones that fold down and have a silver side and a gold (for warmth) side. That way you can fill in your shadows, that and over-expose a bit more for detail when you do people. That's my 2 cents of advice for anyone that's listening..
I would like to shoot cars. Chrome has it's own set of challenges. You can always tell an amatuer when you can see their reflection. I was thinking of setting up a shoot in spring. Getting some "hot chicks" and offering a couple angles for a flat fee. I'm always getting asked by my Harley/chopper/gear head friends.

Thanks for the advice. I can always use help, or another set of eyes to guide me along. That spot has a face in it... look close, and its not a reflection, or the sunset. Let me know what you see

This is going to sound weird, but I see a dragon head. No, not Barney either. I suck at these type of things...

Was that digital or film that you shot? Creepy! I could see an anomoly(sp.- oops) if it were film due to processing -but it's hard to explain digital if it hasn't been messed with. Or are you a closet PowerMac Photoshop guy...

No, that is a digital shot. Took it with my baby... Sony cyber-shot 5.0 MP...and I hate photoshop...mostly because I have no idea how to use it. Yeah, there is a history with that place too, I love haunted things, and Rhode Island is full of them

Yeah, those ghosthunters (T.A.P.S.) on SciFi are always visiting someplace in Rhode Island. I have a friend who is a freelance retoucher in L.A. and New York. He does all the big jobs like Rolling Stone Mag and stuff like that, where he's got to add someone to a pic or clone something. And you really can't tell, but I guess that's why he's bi-coastal and gets paid the big bucks. Me, I'm happy when I can color correct and do minor alterations...

That place T.A.P.S. is about 5 min from my house, and as for retouching, I'm lucky I can tie my shoes in the morning
