It's been a while since I've posted any pics of my kids. Here's one from today, well yesterday now. I tried to post earlier, then a storm took out my power. I got the serious look- very typical for the intellectual 12 year old lately.

I wish the entire t-shirt were visible- there is a little fish with bubbles coming out of it's mouth. She's been learning French and Latin, so she started creating shirts in those languages.

    Nice shot. I probably would have cropped a bit off the bottom where her leg shows, but I get that you wanted to show the t-shirt - which is very cool, by the way.

    Thanks! I was practicing with natural light, so I was very pleased with the catchlights.

    My first instinct was to crop closer, but I did indeed want to keep the wording on the shirt. I'll probably create a cropped copy.

    Very nice, sharp, natural capture Caroline. I prefer the natural light as well. A couple of thoughts:

    - I would go for a bit tighter crop on the bottom to remove probably what is the left pant leg.
    - The eyes are really dark as well as some areas of the hair are difficult to see texture or depth. Perhaps is this POS monitor at work (the day job always get'n in the way of the fun stuff).... perhaps some slight selective midtone adjustments would bring those areas out a bit.

    nice job with the natural light Caroline! And at 12, that face I have seen before.... tells the story of her age. I would maybe just clone out the jean with the grass and leave the crop like it is. will look like she is just leaning into the field of view.

    I had bumped up the contrast quite a bit to get this look, which resulted in the loss of detail in her hair. I increased exposure in her eyes, but they really are quite dark in real life.

    Here's an adjusted version, taking into account suggestions:

    I love this picture of your daughter. She is lovely.

    I like the thoughtful look along with a relaxed expression - no pout, just a quiet, assessing look at the photographer, the world and the viewer.

    The cropped, "popped" version is to die for, but I like the uncropped as well. In a way, they are two different pictures, each capturing something slightly different about Emily. Both are keepers!

    I like the uncropped version too! The patterns on the jeans add a little more splash of color to the photo.

    15524779-Ti.gif Not only is this a great photo, but it really tells me something about your daughter - lots of personality depicted. Nice work!
