Our youngest child and the most willing to allow me to play photographer. Here are few from last weekend:

these are good photos, good composition, but the softening looks too over processed, making her look odd.

I agree.

She is a beauty. Good genes I assume.

great everything, but the brushing is too strong on the face.

when you are working near the essentials such as lips, nose line, eyes, etc.. start a new brush and bump the clarity back up so the lines dont blend it and make it appear too fake.

agree with the softening comments. The last one....would have like to have seen her arm not cut out. First one is good except for too much softening. Over all...she is gorgeous.

shes not odd.. she was more than okay.. love the lighting

Thanks folks for your thoughts!

Her senior prom is coming up so I am practicing every chance I can get.

beautiful

Like the series....really nice job. I think #4 standouts the most to me. I dig it. The soft focus effect in #3... I'm assuming this was added in post? Hard to truly judge the processing at web sizes... looks a little heavy with the skin smoothing... but.. maybe the full res files hold the details?

Nice captures.

wonderful eyes, nice model you have, but agree on the softness

I disagree....I love the processing. I would just ask her.....if she likes it, then its perfect and a hint as to what the senior crowd likes.

Littttle bit too much skin softening. If it's done very subtle, then it's nice. But it really looks too fake & overdone.

Otherwise great job.

Thanks again guys for your critical eyes...I will shoot her in her prom dress and see if I can make some adjustments.
