Hi, all,

Thanks again for commenting on my first DGrin post a couple days ago.

OK, here are a couple more pics from the same session. I went back and toned down the red and sharpened them a bit, based on your prior feedback.

Which of these two do you like better and why?

Thanks in advance for your comments.

    Wow, I didn't see your first post, but these are both spectacular! If I had to choose, I would pick #1 because of the composition. But I love them both. You have a gorgeous girl.

    I think I like the second one better. I prefer that the focus is of her, not like the edge of the umbrella in the first photo. Her expression is just precious in the second one too. It seems like you can see into her personality more. I would try and lighten her left eye (me looking at her left eye, not HER left eye) to equal the light on her face though.

    What a sweetie pie! Those photos are great. iloveyou.gif I like the 2nd one a bit better, but I think that's just because of her sweet smile ...

    If only I was 65 years younger......
    Harry, these are wonderful and she is an absolute sweetheart! I go with the others in that I prefer #2 but either one is a wall hanger.

    I love both of these photos she seems so sweet and genuinely happy.

    I prefer the second photo; for some reason, in the first my eye seems kind of drawn to the umbrella shaft. In the second, it's not as prominent.

    Lovely colors, too.

    Cheers-

    I actually prefer the first one, in the second the blur on the front of the umbrella is distracting to my eye! But both are very lovely! :D

    Super sweet shots! I prefer the expression of the second, but they're both keepers and I like the use of the umbrella. clap.gif

    Thanks so much, all!
    Thanks, everybody, who commented. You have such a talent for pointing out details that in the rush of shooting I always miss. Things like is the focus where it should be and what might be distracting the viewer from the subject. I don't know about you guys, but with a young child, I just can't think fast enough or react quickly enough to fix the little glitches that become obvious later. Oh well, perhaps it will come as I try to develop my portrait making skills, as opposed to my snapshot taking.

    I think I agree with the majority that the second shot might be slightly better. But, I think I'll frame both!

    Thanks, again, all.
