I'm a brand new studio photographer, have only been shooting manual for two weeks & using studio lighting for one. Please critique this photo I took of my 2 year old. THanks!

Apr 10, 2013 00:24 | #2 Her right forearm and hand and left shoulder look a bit on the hot side even in her facial area left side like the highlights are blown out . The rest works for me. Was thinking about the empty space to her left but backdrop covers it for me. Keith-EOS R 7D MarkII EOS REBEL T2i 18-55,55-250.85 1/8. 100-400L. 10-22 f/3.5-4.5. 24-105mm f/4L IS,70-200 II,RF 24-105

Gotta agree...what does your histogram show? The things you do for yourself die with you, the things you do for others live forever.

It's got catchlights and god focus, good expression. Fingers being spread out on the one side is a bit off but hard to get a 2YO to do whatever you ask. I'd say you pushed the subject too far left. I think you need a bit more space on the left - the extra space on the right is fine to do so you don't and shouldn't just center the subject here but I think you pushed it a bit too far.
