It's nice to have a 9-year old around who likes to be in front of the camera. Here are several from the other day. I dialed back the processing of the eyes this time around. How do they look? Other comments/suggestions appreciated as well.

#3 Not sure about the processing on this one. Thoughts?

    Really like the 1st and 4th. The 2nd is a bit too soft and the third has a weird green cast. I know it was intentional but this particular one doesn't appeal to me. You're very lucky that she likes the camera, she's a gorgeous little girl. My 6yo gives me grief usually after the 2nd shot. :D

    like he said...... I'll add though, 3 is a good picture. I'm quite fond of the lines that are in it, just not caring much for the green theme.

    I think #3 is my favorite composition, but the green/desat doesn't do anything for me. I'd love to see it with processing akin to the others.
    I like #1 a lot as well. Very lovely young lady!

    Darren, D'Buggs, and Andrew:

    Thanks for the input on #3. Wasn't sure about this one. Here's #3 reworked with the PP treatment...better?

    I like this second version much more!!
    You might want to try a crop where you lose the green in the upper right. Not totally sure, but I think it might work out very nicely.

    Hey there. You got some really nice photos, #3 (reworked) is definitely my favorite. iloveyou.gif

    As a side note ... and that might be just me .... I'd stay away from RED. See how you lost all the details in the hat? Red is really hard to shoot rolleyes1.gif I don't have any advice (as I refuse to shoot that evil color rolleyes1.gif) Just wanted to point it out thumb.gif

    Good work, the second is a little blurry and you have lost the sharpness of the eyes. The other ones are good!

    I'm going to be the voice of dissent and say that I liked your first version of #3. I like the reworked versions too, but your initial image is my favorite.

    What a cutie and great eyes. She will break alot of hearts. Try raising your black point some to give the images some punch. Even try the mid slider and experiment. Even add some contrast.

    Yeah - the 2nd is soft but I like the comp so I wanted to include it.

    Love dissent. I actually really like both of them.

    She can't break any hearts if Dad does not let her out of the house:D:D
    I'll play with the blackpoint some more. It is hard for me to tell sometimes how far to take this as well as contrast
