    Personally I like the use of DOF. Everyone has their own take on it, but as far as my taste, I love it.

    I guess the only thing that stands out to me is the skin texture. Did you do any skin softening in PP? It look s extremely smooth, and that may be the case since your daughter is a child. Anyhow, just my two cents for what their worth.

    Welcome! You're daughter is very cute! I love the blue eyes and red hair.

    As far as the photo, I am fairly new and only an aspiring pro and not sure if my opinions are worth anything, so if anyone wants to jump in to let me know if i'm off track, please do....but there are two things I see here. One is there is a blueish purple cast to it. Don't know if that's intentional but the photo imo would look better without it. The other thing is I would like to either see a little of both legs maybe out to the side or none at all, but just seeing a piece of the one leg on the one side is distracting to me. Other than that I think it's great! Enjoy this forum, there is a wealth of information here that is very valuable. :D

    Thank you... i do see the blue cast "on the shirt?" I used natural light from my daughters window and it was my first time with a black backdrop...lol not sure if the blue came from it or the action i added to it. The leg in the background is distracting but i also kinda like it cuz of the dof... but i do plan on makeing one with out the leg to try and see what it looks like i just havent dont it yet. Thanks for ur cc it did help!

    Welcome.

    Adorable daughter and very nice portrait attempt.

    I would be inclined to crop this one much tighter. I find the leg in the background distracting since it breaks the symmetry in the center of the photo.

    Thoughts from a newbie
    I personally really like this shot and your style. I think the lighting, color, and expression work well here-- and love natural light myself. The leg doesn't bother me, but it probably would look a little more clean without it. I think this crop would work well for an enlargement and maybe closer for smaller prints, but again I'm a newbie. Congrats on your first people post, mine was a few days ago as well-- the one with the little girl at the tea party :). Lisa
