Sharpness and contrast could be boosted up a little.
Picture is good overall - I just hope the lack of sharpness is not motion blur due to a slow shutter.

Cute picture. I like the BG. Any way to boost the eyes to make them lighter?

Pics are good. One suggestion is to use a little flash. That will brighten her face and put a twinkle in her eye. I played around a minute with trying to balance out the exposure on her face and reducing some of the shadows. What program do you edit with?

I like the sharpened ones better! Not sure if you did bump the contrast a bit too! But I definitely like the sharpened ones better.

Yes I did sharpes and up contrast.

I just got a flash today , this was with natural light.

I edit with cs2 and or lightroom 3 . Have been starting in lightroom and finishing in cs2.

Thanks for the comments!

P.S.
If anyone has any advice or tidbits about using flash outdoors or even in general, fill me in if ya don't mind. Just got a sigma ef 500 dg st. And cord. Not best but good enough to learn on.
