Hi everyone. I have been reading these forums for months but have never had the nerve to post. I am a newbie with a Digital Rebel 300D. I just got a 420ex flash today and was playing around with it. This was my favorite picture of my daughter and her cat. I used a 50mm 1.8 lens. No post-processing was done. Any comments would be appreciated.:)

Thank you. I am lucky to have such a great subject :-) Now that I've broken the barrier, I'm going to start posting some of the baby. Thanks again for the comments.

That's a really nice shot. Very sweet. I would try cropping out her hand on the right. For me, that would bring alot more attention to her eyes.

That's a good idea, Pamela. How's this?

Das Kätzchen und die Katze...

Great capture, hope they will both be willing models for you in your learning process :D

Your shot looks like it was lit just right, and after seeing the crop, I agree that it is better. :D

Thanks...I was playing around in Photoshop...what do you think of it in black and white? I'm going to frame this photo for a gift and am trying to decide.:confused:

The photo in black and white looks great too. You should see how it looks with a close crop of just her face and the cats. The image you posted is large and filled up my screen with their faces. I thought it looked impactful.
