Default First attempt at high key baby - Henry 9.5 months

Well, I know I should have taken the pacifier out of his mouth, and I probably should have had a nicer outfit. But this is my first time with this style of portrait so I know i will do it again. C&C appreciated.

Sorry 'bout that. I had a case of paranoia the other day and locked them all - forgetting that it would not show up here. Fixed now.

These are great. The first four and last one are really well lit. #2 and "looking over his shoulder" are really cute.

I don't have PS - just PSE. What is a screencast? So, all you did was dodge the dark park of the BG to make it white?

i think PSE has it also. Screencast is a recording of the moves i.e video. and yes, that was it re dodge. you need to use the dodge but then make sure you select 'highlights' and set exposure to 10 or so and then just paint the bits you want done.

Cute kid. I like #4 and #5 where he is looking at you. Wish the pacifier wasn't there, then you will be better facial expressions.
