CC does NOT hurt my feelings...

I mostly just want to BRAG about how cute my daughter is, this is Brianna and she is 2...

I kinda hate to post on here because you are pros and wonderful!!! I only take pics for friends and family for just a little money...mostly just pays for my processing time. But I'd love to get in more practice and get more equipment and make it bigger than that someday...

THANKS FOR LOOKING, AND ANY CC YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME TO GIVE WOULD BE MORE THAN APPRECIATED...I CAN TAKE IT LOL!!!

One thing i should probably add, I can't help it, her hair IS that red, depends on how the light hits it on what color red too LOL!

All taken with the 50mm 1.4

Two very important points that make these shots great. First, your daughter is simple gorgeous and second, you are a Nikon shooter:D

Ok, for the real advice. #4 and #6 are great captures. Good composition, good emotion and good colors.

The rest of the photos did not capture that ahhh!!!! emotion you want people to say when they see your daughter.

#2 & 3 do not have the eyes captured in a way that is flattering.

#5 cropping does not allow us to hone in on the main subject, your daughter.

Thank you for posting your pictures. i hope I see more from you

Thank you so much! I totally agree! Some past shots my daughter would have open her big BLUE eyes which could have made a difference in ALL the pics, but she has this squinting thing going on when she smiles now a days and if she knows I am taking a pic or have camera in hand she either smiles or makes a face ...I guess I've had the camera in her face for too long!!!

Thank you so much for the great CC and for the comments on my girly!

Well.....she is absolutely adorable, and definately warrants bragging!!!:D

For C&C...

1 and 7- Sure it could stand to be sharper ...but...it is definately a keeper in color or monotone. I like it.

2 AND 3- I prefer the color version here. She has a cute expression. My only nitpick might be that the shot is very centered.

4- definately a winner!!! You might give it a shot at leveling those stairs in photoshop as it seems there is a small amout of tilting.

5-This one is too centered. Also, IMO horizontal compositions rarely work well with a 3/4 length shot.

6-Again, I wish it weren't so centered, but it a beautiful photograph as is. Excellent capture of youthful emotion.


Aside from centering your delightful subject in a couple of them I think you did a terrific job. Your colors really pop, and your daughter is a very captivating young lady!!! I wish I were that good a shooter when my kids were this young!!!


Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the CC Jeff!

Some of the centering was probably my cropping too! I need to remember that!

#1 i was so upset with the lack of focus but with the lack of focus/sharpness made me kinda like it anyway...something about it i don't know.

It is so hard for me to chose good shots and bad shots when it is your own child!

Thank you so much for your time!

I adore #6!! My little one is three and my most photographed subject. She turns her back on me now.

I love her red hair!!!

Excellent series. I love #2. Adorable little girl with lovely hair. Why even try B&W. These saturated colors go so great with her fun looks!!
