6 is adorable!

its a good 1st start, she is an adorable model. I would like to edit some but you don't have image editing ok enabled is it ok?

my honest critique (i hate harsh critique myself) work on your composition, #4 would have been pretty good if you didn't cut off her hand and #1 without the flowers, do you have another one without the flowers covering her cheek?

[MelonieDawn]

thank you!

im open to editing, how would i enable that? i have a few different flower ones ill post as soon as i edit and convert them from RAW. To be quite honest i find the orchids a bit cheesy for this type of picture (i had them in a vase in my dining room) but many of my non-photog friends liked that one, so i threw it in.

#2 for me... nice...

I'd love to play with them a little later if I get time too :) Fun fun! What a cutie! I really like #3, 6 & 7, but agree that they need a little editing to really pop :)
I have that same blanket too - love it to death!

[swimchic]

I got my blanket at Ikea
Anyway - here's my go at it - thanks for letting us play :)
I think the angles were a little hard to work with - but I don't think it's as noticeable when you crop it in. When you are working with babies, you should pretty much be laying on your stomach on the ground, that will give you the best angle for straight on, here you were a little high, like you were only sitting on the ground. Anyway - I ran them through RAW and boosted the exposure a little, then ran them through curves a few times, and boosted the color with curves & hue/sat - HTH :)

On this second one my edit is a little orange, just 'cause I was working with such a small image - but that would be easy to tone down with selective hue/sat

thanks looks great.
