Here are a few test shots of a Christmas photo play date I had with my daughter this past week. Nothing serious, just all in fun. Mom had a great time changing outfits and prompting smiles out of our daughter with her various squeaky toys.
Details:
White backdrop
OCF (2 x flashes, 45 degrees to the left and to the right)
Photo smoothed using Imagenomic Portraiture
Self critique: The eyes are not looking at anything specific and tree trunk on right is falling out of frame and is visually distracting.http://terrafirma.smugmug.com/photos/732933369_eVnai-M.jpg
Details:
Same setup as above, no photo smoothing filter applied.
Self critique: Too dark on left side (too harsh for subject matter). I just could not get the background far enough away to go to black without light (flash) pollution due to space constraints.http://terrafirma.smugmug.com/photos/732933497_ZSzYP-M.jpg
Details:
Same setup as above, photo smoothing filter applied.
Self critique: Needs a little more depth of field (sharpness is inconsistent)http://terrafirma.smugmug.com/photos/732933673_vrkX6-XL.jpg
Details:
Here is a test shot without and then with photo smoothing applied (via software).
Self critique: N/A, just test shots.Without:

Same OCF setup as above, photo smoothing filter applied.
Self critique: Skin tone a little red, maybe?... at least on my monitor. I just really like this one. This was taken between holiday specific outfit changes and I was just toying around with setup / lighting. This turned out to be my favorite of the day... and it looks great on all of my monitors at work.:grin: :D
