Granddaughter Portrait from Today

I shot this with my 24-105L IS with flash bounced off the ceiling. C&C welcomed.

I think this is a darling capture... It seems a little underexposed so I did a quick edit for you.. Bumped levels, added some curves, dodged eyes and softened some of the shadows on the face... boosted color and extra amounts in the blue &cyan channel to bring out her eyes... Defogged, and then sharpened...

It's such a cute image.. I tend to underexpose when using flash because I'm afraid of hotspots on the face.. You can push the flash a little higher when bouncing off a ceiling because it's not direct on your subject.

Cute capture and I hope you don't mind the edit.. I'll remove it if you prefer... just let me know. :)

Thank you much for your efforts Kristy! I still need a lot of practice with the flash. Next time I'll bump the power up a bit.
