I'm finding it hard to decide..I love this photo of my daughter, Kymerly, coz it catches perfectly her fun loving, sociable personality...BUT technicly...not sure

It's one of the first pics I shot with my all new nifty fifty:)

Let me know, what would you do, scrap or keep, fix or leave it?

Lou

Thanks :)

If you're into PP, it will make a nice picture...well worth keeping. ;)

Assuming that it was shot in RAW if you make the original available, someone here will take a stab at it.

Thanks, Chauncey!

Yeah I do like pp, just not so good with the seective pp, like darkening that background and her hair, but lightening her eyes, wish I could afford/justify buying 'portrait proffesional'

I love it! I'd whack off some of the top and make it a closer-cropped portrait of her face, personally. Gotta love the nifty-fifty!
