My Granddaughter

She's hiding under the kitchen table while Easter dinner is being prepared.



I'm trying to develop a PP that creates a soft image without losing detail. Shot with my S1 Pro, 50mm 1.4 lens at f2. Appreciate any comments.

This a very nice shot of a beautiful little girl. The lighting seems perfect and the DOF is near perfect. Only thing I might have tried is getting lower, to her level, rather than shooting down at her. Getting her elbow in frame and maybe cropping a bit off the top.

Thanks for the feedback. I tend to frame my main subject and forget about the rest of the composition. It's something i need to remind myself about.

I too like the picture. About the angle: going down to her level might be an option, but I also like the current perspective. I mean right now, the top/down angle really shows you she's hiding under a table, and the way it looked to you as a grown up. If you'd change the angle, you'd see what it is hiding under the table from her side of things. Both options have something going for it.

Good, very good...
If the camera was turned 90 degrees, to still retain the table top & include her elbow...?

Thanks for all the suggestions. I just really need to look at the edges of the composition and make sure I've got everything before I push the button.
