Very nicely done. Good lighting, but I like the composition and pose on the first one (or first two rather) a lot more than in the second. However she looks like she's forcing her eyes open, which gives it kind of an uncomfortable feel. Reds are a little too saturated too.

I say re-shoot the first one, same pose, same lighting, same composition, but with a more natural smile. That would be an AWESOME shot.

Lol, nice shot, especially the first one... makes me laugh when I look at it.

Eyes look a little heavy on the PP (not sure if you did any, just looks like you may have over sharpened just a tad).

[makin'memories]

thanks...yeah she always pops her eye open so big...hard to catch her off guard so to speak...I did run them through a sharpening filter so maybe it did it a bit much...

I acutally pulled the reds down by about -9 so I guess maybe I should have done more...thanks for the catch on that.

#2 and 4 are my favorites..all are nice.

[makin'memories]

thanks for looking stephen

Beautiful shots! Is it my monitor or is #2 on the verge of being overexposed/blownout on her face?

[Kendoway]

At first I thought "Gee, he's Photoshopped a cat into the picture", until I realized it's part of her shirt. LOL.

I agree with "USER876" about photo #2, but i like them all nonetheless.

[Broncobear]

With those eyes it's very hard to take a bad picture, very beautiful.

For me, it's colour shots all the way, one occasional black and white is nice because her "transparent" eyes show well, but the colour really makes them sing. Her face is a tad over exposed , but only a tad.

[makin'memories]

thanks everyone! yeah I think that #2 might be close to over exposed from PP...I will probably go back and bring it down a bit before I print.
she had to have that shirt because of the kitty...it says Be Mine...she loves cats!!
