Well, she's not 100% cooperative, but it's worth it. Some people are just born to be photographed.

    Lovely shot.

    Question, if you wanted to remove the blue reflection on her chin, how would you do that? I have shots like that where I struggle with whether that would be a good idea or not (not sure it is for your shot, either), and then also how to accomplish it without making it obvious.

    Hi Rutt,
    Quite the cutie but not sure what the expression is. I like your comp and looking forward to seeing more.

    I think that's a great shot Rutt. She looks a little like Annie, maybe it's just the curls. I like the colors in the shot, they appear kinda soft. I just wish her eyes were a little brighter and sharper. Very cute girl too.

    Nice shot Rutt, what focal length was this taken with? reason I am asking, is that it looks like it is a little 'wide'.

    XO,

    I cropped it. Here is the original jpeg:

    It looks like my 24-70 was about on the long side. The exif info says 57mm.

    Also with the original picture the age of your subject becomes more obvious, and tells me that the roundness of her cheeks has nothing to do with focal length and all with age thumb.gif

    Natural (gold/pale yellow) reflector? Maybe a black or grey card just out of frame?

    I think it's beautiful too - great pouty expression, LOVE the curls dangling in her face. If you wanted to monkey with it in PS you could try to sharpen just the eyes using the history brush to see if that helps the brightness there. But overall it's a sweet shot!
