This is my favorite one from Hannah's photo shoot. We had so much doing this!

ISO 400, 1/400, 1.6, 50.0 mm, all natural light, continous shooting (wanted some of those unexpected funny things all kids do!!), black velvet fabric for backdrop

In PSE 5, I had to burn a very small spot in background, smoothed her skin a bit, and saturated her lips, and sharpen a bit

What do you think? Please be honest with me. I appreciate all feedback, advice, and comments.

Thanks for looking!! Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!


Exif: F Number: 1.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/400 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 400, White balance: Manual white balance, FocalLength: 50.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT

Hi Amber,
I love this photo. I am trying to learn as much as possible and was wondering how you smoothed her skin and saturated her lips. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

She is adorable Amber. Fun pose :)
The lighting is also very good, you did great. You asked for some honesty and I hope you do not mind. :) The only thing I find distracting in your portrait is that her left eye and area is blurred. again I hope you do not mind :) #5511199
