I've recently been asked to do a few child portraits by friends. These are of Olivia, beautiful little girl and her mum and dad, Helen and Chris.

Would love to know what you all think.

Regards,

Nick

hope you don't mind I played a little with this one...its a great capture!
I found it a tad pink/red so I used curves a little (but I am on my laptop so I could be off as well)
Cute baby!

No worries, On my calibrated monitors, your colour looks a little pale and the B&W looks a little blue/green.

What does anyone else think?

Do i need to re-calibrate?

Love the very fist shot, it makes a refreshing change to see the mother in this type of shot, works really well.

I find the photos a bit on the red side too. However I find the poses awesome and you have captured a special moment in every photo. Well done on your captures!! I had a little play with your photos too. I hope that is ok with you.

Hi Kimmy

On this shot all the warmth has been lost IMHO.

Although your possibly correct in terms of WB.

I think they look a bit red too. I like Kimmy's versions. I think they look great.

I see what you mean about the warmth. I took the photo back into PS and added a warming filter to it. It could still possibly use a bit more warmth.
