I like this photo but It seems you have a similar problem to one I have been trying to overcome lately. You want to fit all of the subject into the frame, you want to fit the prop into the frame, but then things just don't line up properly. What I mean by that is all of the empty space at the top is to distracting. I'd prolly end up placing the lamb in front of her (in her lap would be great if she would tolerate it), or centering her more vertically in the shot. Empty space can be a good thing but in shots like this it takes away rather than adding. I know it's hard to stop doing cause it's a problem I deal with to but it's the most common complaint I hear when I forget to think about it (easy to fix but having to fix things sucks) and I personally may think a shot is great when I take it but then when I look at it again and see that space I end up hating the shot.
I like the picture but I don't know if I like the conversion that much...too dark maybe?...
That and it's Easter- all bright and happy colors. Let's see this thing is color!
A very beautiful child and I like the added little lamb.
Good job,
Ashley
