This is from when my oldest daughter met her little sister for the first time at the hospital. I'm looking for some C&C on the post-processing (and any other aspect, for that matter). It seems a little washed out to me... Thoughts?

Thanks,
Brad

    Nice pic and congrats! You have a beautiful baby and daughter :) You must be proud!

    As for the picture, I can see what you mean about the washed out-ness of the photo. But in this case, i think it can work. It gives a gentler and softer feel to the photograph which is in line with the subject matter :)

    I dont have any other thoughts and suggestions though in regards to the post-processing. :)

    Dahn8 - Thanks! I'm going to send the picture off to Bay Photo and see how it looks.

    Love this.

    Seriously.

    Yeah, there's things to nit-pick. The edge of the bassinet, things like that. But on a big level, who cares. You captured a priceless moment.

    By the way, I don't think it's necessarily washed out - maybe lacking a bit of pop or contrast. The top right corner has some detail missing, but that's minor in my book.

    Thanks for posting.

    Why do people post their equipment in their sig. Isn't it kind of like bragging? That having been said...

    I think this is really sweet. I didn't think "washed out" at all when I saw it. It's bright and the subjects are mostly filling the frame and it's a sweet moment. Congrats and well done!
