Hey man, going good. it looks like your trying to understand light above just copying the black and white value :)
one tip though, this is what I do anyway;
Whenever I find a photo to study on I always find one in color. So I understand exactly were the specular light is, and then i make it black and white and generally ignore the specular and add it afterwards. since diffuse light is only needed to render form and specular is something additional. it can be confusing to understand what I'm looking at if the photo has alot of specular and I see it directly in black and white. I hope this makes sense
But maybe you allready knew this ;D
