Hello Canon friends :)
Looking for some help here..or should I stick to landscapes. Real people scare me and my camera.

This is very nice. Cute photo and the tones are warm. Maybe a tighter crop to remove the distractions.

Yes this is very cute. The eyes are nice and sharp. I agree though about cropping it a bit tighter from the top and right side.

RedShoesGirl and Conk~Thank you for taking the time to help me. Really trying to get a eye for these types of pictures. This was just a quick shot and no pose *LOL*
Worked the tighter crop and touch of clone on the left eyeball. Changed the frame to more of a flesh color.

although I didn't like the distractions, the latter framing is a little tight. I love the eyes, sharp and expressive. The eyes have it....

I like this cute photo, but agree about the tight crop. i like the lock of hair that falls below the left shoulder that was cropped out.

I know exactly how you feel. But it's fun to catch these unposed moments as well.

I like the photo a lot, especially the eyes and the expression on her face!

I don't like the frame as much, neither the original version nor the flesh-tone ??? version. There's too much of the black border in the original frame for my taste.

Regards,
Andy

RedShoesGirl~~*You're spot on* My eye didn't catch the locks I had cropped* and that is a major item I overlooked.
Her Mom has never had her hair cut! Look and think..a very important lesson Y'all have taught me.
Andythaler...you're right about the frame...I didn't like it either.

Thank you everyone!!!! :) :)
