Tired Mira (Kid Pic)

[jbkalla]

C&C, please. I thought this pic was so cute that I can't be objective about it!

It's my friends' kid. She'd just spent the last 20min jumping on the bed.

Such a sweet and innocent looking image. Nice, bro. ;)

Thanks, LM!

I'm not sure the composition is great, and the background is a little distracting, but besides that: Any ideas on what I could have done better? Or what I can do to make this pic better?

wow. I really like this photo. Nice DOF.

I think it's perfect.

No objections here, It's absolutely darling!

Thanks everyone! I appreciate the comments!

So I guess I should leave the photo as it is, then?

Great photo John! I love the expression on her face. Regarding your comment about the background, how about some cloning of the white bed around her and a tighter crop so that all thats visible is white and her. Ill try and give it a shot and post up

Thanks, damansidhu!

Here's Mira after whitening the background. How would you crop it after this? Or did I overdo it?

Hi John,
Heres my quick take on the same, its basically the same as yours except that i kept some detail on the bed to get an idea of what shes lying on. I like your edit too but maybe the eyes became a little too soft i think after the gaussion blur-overlay twice, so maybe delete the eyes from the overlayed layer to get them sharp from the layer below?

Ah hah! Thanks, damansidhu! I like that a lot. It takes away the distracting elements...

Great photo, I like the original, and Daimansidhu's one isnt bad either. I love her pose, and the bright background actually works very well. Your friend must love it!

nicely done! The colors certainly pop! The softness is a great match for her also. Great work
