    This also might get quite a few hits if it were submitted. But, before you do, I would think you would want to tone down the reds just a bit - the skin tones don't look right. Then again, it might be the POS monitor I have at work.

    It's hard to tell with a small image like that, but is the focus right? It appears to me that the eyes are just a little OOF.

    After getting home and seeing the picture on a well calibrated monitor - the reds are just a bit heavy. But I was wrong about the OOF eyes. They look very good on my better monitor.

    OH, I forgot to say that I think this is a very cute shot!

    15524779-Ti.gif the reds are a bit strong on my monitor also.

    Great idea and sure to get hits with the title! rolleyes1.gif


    The only other comment I would make is the crop is tight at the top - would like to see a little more of the quilt.

    Thank you both ...

    Let me know what you think of this ... and suggestions for suitable title ... was thinking of again going with 'patches of nudity' or 'a patch of romance' ....

    Actually .... I'm surprised nobody has put a patchwork quilt on the washing line and called it 'wet patch' !!!! rolleyes1.gifrolleyes1.gif

    Any comments welcome ... how are the reds in this one?

    This idea has a lot of potential - I must admit I really like your first picture of the baby.

    With that said......

    The angle of her body seems to be leaning forward - kinda huntched. I think if she was sitting straighter it would compliment her back more.

    The quilt does not flow in the shot - maybe drape it more.

    Her knee is distracting.

    Also the way she is holding the wine glass looks posed not natural - possibly have her turned slightly and lifting the glass to her lips? --- JMHO

    I like the idea of a patch of romance. thumb.gif
    Hope you reshoot with a slightly more romantic feel to it.

    15524779-Ti.gif with all that twinbnj had to say about the last three.

    Of the two of the young lady, I think the color is the better.

    The cute little guy gets my vote. No red issue on my monitor, just a healthy pink glow.
