Broke out my flash for a rainy day portrait of my 3 year old. Any comments or suggestions?

    She is such the tiny lady.....too cute Mitchell....

    The lighting gurus might scoff at the specular stuff going on around her chin. I think it is a fantastic portrait!thumb.gif
    Thanks,

    Thanks, Jeff.

    I can't quite figure out whats going on with the funky shadow around her chin. Just a single umbrella on my left with a reflector on the right. I can only guess that poor reflector placement left me with a bad shadow around her chin and neck.

    If only she would let me take some more photos. She granted me 10 shots during this session!ne_nau.gif

    Thanks, Virginia. This shot will be a surprise for my wife. We have a photo of my 13 year old taken in this same outfit 10 years ago by a local pro. I copied the pose and processing pretty closely.

    Should be a fun gift!iloveyou.gif
