Just getting back in the swing of things

...after some time off for baby #5. Caught her sister while testing light for a different shoot. Thought I'd share to get back into the world of critiques

Beautiful! Great expression, comp, lighting, etc. Those eyes are amazing.

Pure sweetness! Love it! Wow...baby number FIVE?!!! I'm completely swamped (and feeling crazy) with 4...And also feeling D.O.N.E! Couldn't imagine having enough energy for 5! Hats off! Great shot

My first impression was, nice shot! Then as I looked closer I saw what seemed to be artifacts. After more scrutiny I could see it was your watermark.

My only suggestion would be to redo your watermark.

@Sam - ha! You know, I used to have one of those corner jobbies, but then I saw pics of my kids out there so now whenever I have my personal shots online, I use the tile. For proofing etc, it's much smaller and in the corner.

@Kidzmom - yes, I'm done now too at five. But they are my best subjects so I put up with them

Thanks for commenting! Hopefully more to come when I get the chance to shoot and post.

I agree the watermark needs some help, but despite that I think Sam was on target. Some areas appear oversharpened...and contain artifacts.

thanks for all the c&c...I fixed the watermark
