Nice capture is it just me or does it seem a little dull?

It looks fine on my monitor Stevie, I did find I was distracted by the skin blemish on the second girls head though. I would clone it out. Still a very nice shot though.

Looks a little flat to me too. But a very cute expression and great capture!

Too bad you focused on the girl closest to you and not the girl that noticed you.

Thanks Stevie & MrGibbage, I looked at the histo on CS2 & it looked ok - so I only did an auto levels adj. I'll try tweaking the contrast etc. Appreciate your observations.

Thanks Alby. You're right, I should've cloned that enormous pimple out - this sweet young thing deserves better :)

Yeah, I wasn't fast enough to change focus (no multi-point focussing, using a Lumix pns only - perhaps a 30D would've done the job?). I was composing for the red-girl as the main subject - she looked so serene & gentle. By the time I half pressed and recomposed, the yellow girl looked over & I just snapped.

It would have been a totally different feel if the yellow girl were in focus :)
